The professional baseball KT Wiz, fueled by 'surprise star' Ahn Hyun-min's debut grand slam, secured a winning series.

KT adorned their home game against the Doosan Bears in the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 29th with a 12-2 victory.

Ahn Hyun-min decorated his season's eighth home run with a grand slam, delivering three hits and five RBIs in five at-bats, while starting pitcher Oh Won-seok earned his seventh win of the season with a solid performance allowing one run in six innings, marking his fourth consecutive win.

With a 2-1 winning series, KT maintained its fourth place with a record of 28 wins, 25 losses, and 3 ties (win rate .528). The ninth-place Doosan, after losing the series, has 22 wins, 30 losses, and 3 ties (win rate .423).

KT scored the first run in the bottom of the third inning. A surprise bunt by Kwon Dong-jin led to an error by Doosan pitcher Kohl or Bin, allowing a runner to reach base. With two outs and runners on first and second due to a walk by Bae Jeong-dae, Mel Rojas Jr. achieved a one-RBI hit to center field, taking the initiative.

In the bottom of the fourth inning, KT added two more runs. After consecutive walks by Heo Kyung-min and Kim Sang-su, a sacrificed bunt by Kwon Dong-jin led to one out with runners on second and third, where pinch hitter Jang Jin-hyeok delivered a two-RBI hit to the right field, extending the lead to 3-0.

Doosan also scored in the top of the fifth inning with a hit to right field by Kang Seung-ho and a stolen base to second, followed by a timely hit by Im Jong-sung, but KT responded with a big inning scoring seven runs in the bottom of the fifth, stifling Doosan's effort to catch up. After Rojas hit to left field and Jang Seong-woo hit to right field, KT scored one run with a sacrifice fly by Moon Sang-cheol with no outs and runners on first and third, and created a bases-loaded opportunity with a hit by pitch to Heo Kyung-min and a walk to Kwon Dong-jin, knocking out Doosan starter Kohl or Bin.

Although Doosan brought in veteran Ko Hyo-jun to the mound, they could not dampen KT's momentum. KT added two more runs with a walk by Jang Jin-hyeok, forcing in a run, and a wild pitch by Ko Hyo-jun. In a continued two-out, bases-loaded situation, Ahn Hyun-min hit a grand slam. He pulled a slider on the fourth pitch from Ko Hyo-jun, sending the ball over the left field fence. The home run traveled 125 meters, marking his eighth of the season. It was his first home run in 11 games since the first game of the doubleheader against LG at Jamsil on the 17th.

In the bottom of the seventh inning, Ahn Hyun-min, who delivered a timely hit for one RBI, exploded with five hits and five RBIs from five at-bats, while Rojas recorded four hits and one RBI from five at-bats. Jang Jin-hyeok contributed one hit, three RBIs, and one walk from three at-bats, and Bae Jeong-dae achieved one hit and two walks from two at-bats, showing balanced performance.

With strong support from the batting lineup, KT starter Oh Won-seok earned the win. He completed six innings allowing seven hits, one walk, and three strikeouts with one run, achieving a quality start and his seventh win (2 losses) of the season. Oh Won-seok continued his personal four-game winning streak since the game against Kiwoom on the 3rd in Suwon. He lowered his earned run average from 2.62 to 2.51, establishing himself as a successful trade acquisition.

In contrast, Doosan starter Kohl or Bin faltered amid control issues, lasting 4⅔ innings with seven hits, five walks, one hit by pitch, two strikeouts, and allowing seven runs (six earned), marking his fifth loss of the season (with five wins). Although Kim Jae-hwan and Kang Seung-ho each had two hits, it was insufficient to prevent the team's defeat.
