On the 5th at the Tokyo Dome in Japan, the World Baseball Classic (WBC) Group C pool game between Korea and the Czech Republic was held.

Korea started So Hyeong-jun, and the Czech Republic started Danielle Padisak 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 is aiming to reach the main bracket knockout stage for the first time in 17 years.

In the top of the first, with one out and a runner on first, Korea's Kim Hye-seong turned the Czech Republic's Vabra into a double play. Mar. 5, 2026
