On the 5th at the Tokyo Dome in Japan, the World Baseball Classic (WBC) group stage Group C game between Korea and the Czech Republic was held.
Korea started So Hyeong-jun, and the Czech Republic started Danielle Padyshak.
Korea, which reached the semifinals in 2006 and finished runner-up in 2009, failed to advance to the quarterfinal tournament in all three subsequent editions (2013, 2017, 2023). In this tournament, it aims to reach the final-round tournament for the first time in 17 years.
In the bottom of the first with one out and the bases loaded, Korea's Moon Bo-gyeong hit a grand slam to right-center and is celebrating at home with teammates. Mar. 5, 2026
