On the 5th at Tokyo Dome in Japan, a World Baseball Classic (WBC) group stage Pool C game between Korea and the Czech Republic was held.

Korea started So Hyeong-jun, and the Czech Republic started Danielle Padysak.

Korea, which reached the semifinals in 2006 and finished runner-up in 2009, failed to advance to the quarterfinal knockout stage in all three subsequent tournaments (2013, 2017, 2023). In this tournament, it is aiming to reach the main knockout stage for the first time in 17 years.

With one out and a runner on second in the top of the fourth, Korea's Lee Jung-hoo fell while making a throw on a hit by the Czech Republic's Muzik. Mar. 5, 2026
