Game 3, October 29
Jamsil Baseball Stadium, Seoul
Doosan returned home to their stadium in Jamsil with the series tied at 1-1 series. Doosan started left-handed Lee Hei-chun, and SK answered by starting Lee Jae-Won in the place of the designated hitter, as he had a higher hitting average against left-handed pitchers. SK started Kenny Rayburn.
The game started off as a pitcher's duel, with both pitchers scoring several strike-outs each, more notably Lee. Both teams struck in the 4th inning, putting 1 run on the board each. SK went ahead 3-1 in the 6th, as young 3rd baseman Choi Jeong hit a 2 run home run on the first pitch of reliever Lee Jae-woo. Doosan answered back with a solo home run from relief catcher Choi Seung-Hwan in the 7th, but SK held onto their 1-run lead to close the game up and take a 2-1 lead in the series.
Doosan very nearly came back in the 9th inning, as closer Chong Tae-hyon loaded the bases with 1 out, but Kim Hyun-soo hit into a double-play, allowing SK to take the win and giving Chong the save.

Famous quotes containing the words game and/or october:
“I hate that aesthetic game of the eye and the mind, played by these connoisseurs, these mandarins who “appreciate” beauty. What is beauty, anyway? There’s no such thing. I never “appreciate,” any more than I “like.” I love or I hate.”
—Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
“The autumnal change of our woods has not yet made a deep impression on our own literature yet. October has hardly tinged our poetry.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
