On the 5th at Tokyo Dome in Japan, the World Baseball Classic (WBC) Group C pool-play game between Korea and the Czech Republic was held.
Korea started So Hyeong-jun, and the Czech Republic started Danielle Padyšák 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 seventh with one out and a runner on third, Korea's Kim Hye-seong hits a grounder. Mar. 5, 2026
