Final Thoughts:
An offensive barage, but Dinos ended up winning it in the Bottom of 6th Inning where a hits batsman by SW Jang, leads to 3-run inning. And the Dinos get win number 14 on the 2020 Regular Season. Meanwhile the Eagles, did not get production out of their Bullpen, giving up 7 runs in 3 innings of work. 

Eagles will go home to host LG Twins, Tuesday-Thursday. While Dinos will host Kiwoom Heroes, during that three day stretch.
