The 149km pitch was a hit for Park Gun-woo. However, he could not withstand the 149km threatening pitch over his head.

The fourth showdown of the season between Doosan Bears and NC Dinos took place at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul on the 23rd.

NC, trailing 0-1, had two outs and no runners on base in the top of the sixth when Park Gun-woo came to the plate. He faced a 1B-1S count and hit four consecutive fouls, putting him in a disadvantageous position of 1B-2S, when he encountered a frightening situation with a 149km fastball flying toward his head.

After barely avoiding the threatening pitch, Park Gun-woo walked toward Colovin, expressing strong discontent. Catcher Kim Gi-yeon quickly restrained Park, but players from both teams rushed onto the field, leading to a bench-clearing incident.

Earlier, in the top of the fourth, Park Gun-woo was hit hard in the left side by Colovin's 149km fastball and complained of significant pain. He walked to first base without any incident, but when a threatening pitch flew toward his head in the next at-bat, he could not contain his anger.

Doosan players calmed down their excited former teammate Park Gun-woo. Yang Seok-hwan, who is close to Park, initially calmed him down, and Koji Goto, Park's former coach at third base, also patted Park to soothe his excited feelings. Colovin, who threw the threatening pitch, said something to Park in a strong tone, but NC captain Park Min-woo and foreign pitcher Logan Allen blocked him.

Fortunately, there was no major clash. Shortly thereafter, players from both teams returned to their respective dugouts, and the situation was resolved. The confrontation between Park Gun-woo and Colovin continued, with Colovin managing to get Park to ground out to shortstop, ending the inning after a 10-pitch battle.

Colovin pitched six innings, allowing one hit, four walks, four strikeouts, and no runs on 97 pitches, yet he could not achieve his sixth win of the season due to the bullpen’s struggles. Park Gun-woo recorded a pop-up to right field, a hit by pitch, a ground-out to shortstop, and a fielder's choice, being satisfied with just one reach base.

The game ended in a 1-1 rain-shortened draw between Doosan and NC. After the regular innings ended, heavy rain poured down at Jamsil Stadium, causing the game to be suspended, and after a 30-minute wait, the rain did not stop, leading to a rain-shortened game declaration at 10:21 p.m.
