Doosan coach Lee Seung-yeop said after the game, “Starter Choi Seung-yong wisely overcame the crisis and built a platform for victory. Park Chi-guk threw his own ball and was responsible for the second inning, and Kim Kang-ryul also finished the game cleanly even though it was his first appearance,” he said. “Yang Eui-ji is Yang Eui-ji. Pitcher Reed, of course, hit the decisive home run. I was able to catch the atmosphere in the beginning through the 3 points that came out through the center line in the 1st inning.”
