Kim Min-seok started as the fifth left fielder and recorded two hits and one RBI in five times at bat. Doosan's Jake Cave doubled with one out in the bottom of the 10th inning, and Yang Eui-ji's hit made a catch error by third baseman Kim Kyu-sung, making it the first and second bases with one out. Kim Jae-hwan struck out, but Kim Min-seok hit a finishing hit to end the long game.

Kim Min-seok, who led his team to four consecutive losses, said in an interview after the game, "My team has been mired in losing consecutive games recently, so I wanted to play a winning game somehow. There is not much difference in scores, and if there is a chance at the bottom of the 10th inning, it will be me." Since he was (Kim) Jae-hwan in front of me, I thought he would compete with me rather than me. That's why I prepared the batting coach and Jung Hae-young's pitches and patterns," looking back on the moment when he had a finishing hit. 

"The coach put me in the game. It's time to build trust and trust," Kim said. "He ordered me to see the spirit and confidence of my youth at the baseball stadium. That's what I thought," Kim said. "I started the game. Rather than thinking that (the chance to finish) was burdensome, I wanted to feel how it would feel to play since it was my first walk-off hit. I made a commitment to win at the first pitch unconditionally. The result was good, but I focused on the first pitch as I thought I had to make a result at the first pitch no matter what whether I hit the ball or was out." 

In the game, there were many scenes where runners were out of the base. Notably, Cave was tagged out on his way to the second base even after hitting a long hit with no outs and a runner on the first base in the first inning. He also managed to make a double in the 10th inning, wiping out Doosan fans' hearts. 

"I honestly thought Cave died like that in the first inning, so I didn't think he would challenge himself," Kim Min-seok said. "Cave is manly and even if he dies, I think he played with the idea of dying at second base. He is very bright and plays a lot of games full of energy. At first, I thought I might die at second base, but I thought I would live beyond the middle, so I liked all of them together." 

Kim Min-seok, who wore Doosan`s uniform after being traded to Chung Cheol-won and Jeon Min-jae along with Choo Jae-hyun and Choi Woo-in in November last year, had high expectations as the star of the mega trade. However, he went down to the second team due to ups and downs in the early days of the season. He has a batting average of 230 (seven hits in 74 at-bats), seven RBIs, five runs scored, and one stolen base OPS of .566 in 27 games. 

Kim Min-seok said, "Friends, family, and fans have told me a lot that I look a little less confident. I'm not usually the type that doesn't have confidence, but when I think about last year and early this year, I think I've become smaller and lost confidence on my own. I think it was an opportunity to find confidence because the coach asked me to show the spirit and passion of youth," he said. "The word that you are the main character of a huge trade is rather motivating. Even if the result is not good right now, I think it's a process of growing for the future. I think the coach and the team also trust and wait for me," he added.

Doosan's head coach Lee Seung-yeop voluntarily resigned on the 2nd and acting head coach Cho Sung-hwan took over the team. After Lee Seung-yeop's resignation, he lost two games in a row and lost four consecutive games, but with a dramatic walk-off victory on the day, he finally lost four consecutive games and won his first victory under the acting coach Cho Sung-hwan. 

Kim Min-seok said, "The seniors set the mood well. Recently, a lot of young players have been in the first division, and they are fighting hard just like they were when they were amateur players. (Yang) Ji-won also told me to talk about the situation and cheer for each other, so I wouldn't hear him when he is in the outfield, but when a strike goes in, he shouts 'Nice ball' and 'out count' together. We are fighting like that," expressing a new Doosan atmosphere
