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 Padysak.
Korea, which reached the semifinals in 2006 and finished runner-up in 2009, has since failed to advance to the quarterfinal tournament in all three tournaments (2013, 2017, 2023). In this tournament, it aims to reach the final tournament for the first time in 17 years.
With one out and a runner on first in the bottom of the fifth, Korea's Shay Whitcomb hit a two-run homer to left and celebrated with coach Kim Jae-geol. Mar. 5, 2026
