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 sent Danielle Padysak as the starting pitcher.
Korea, which reached the semifinals in 2006 and finished runner-up in 2009, failed to advance to the quarterfinal knockout stage in the next three tournaments (2013, 2017, 2023). In this tournament, it aims to reach the main knockout stage 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. Mar. 5, 2026
