[Photo] Whitcomb hits two-run homer and flees

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 on the mound.

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 aims to reach the final-round knockout stage 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 hits a two-run homer to left. Mar. 5, 2026
