kt wiz pulled off a stunning comeback on July 27 at Suwon kt wiz Park, sealing a 4-3 victory against the Samsung Lions in the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League. The team scored all four runs in the bottom of the ninth inning, turning the tide in dramatic fashion.

For most of the game, Samsung maintained a narrow lead. After Kang Min-ho’s solo home run in the top of the ninth extended their advantage to 3-0, closer Lee Ho-seong took the mound for the bottom half. However, Lee’s control faltered, setting off a series of mistakes that would prove costly.

kt’s rally began with one out, as Ahn Chi-young was hit by a pitch, and a subsequent balk by Lee put a runner in scoring position. Pinch hitter Cho Dae-hyun then drove in a run with a timely single, cutting the deficit to 3-1. Mel Rojas Jr. drew a walk to load the bases, and Kwon Dong-jin added another single to keep the bases full with just one out.

Capitalizing on the opportunity, Kang Baek-ho drew a bases-loaded walk, narrowing the gap to a single run. Immediately after, Ahn Hyun-min delivered a sacrifice fly to center off Samsung’s reliever Kim Tae-hoon, tying the game at 3-3.

The decisive moment followed as Kim Tae-hoon struggled, issuing consecutive walks to Jang Seong-woo and Heo Kyung-min, allowing kt wiz to complete the walk-off win with another bases-loaded walk.

Despite a commanding start from Samsung’s starting pitcher Won Tae-in, who held kt scoreless over seven innings, the bullpen ultimately surrendered the game.

Ahn Hyun-min stood out, going 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base. With this come-from-behind victory, kt wiz notched their 50th win of the season (alongside 3 draws and 45 losses) and solidified their place in fourth.
