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 their starting pitcher.
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 main knockout stage for the first time in 17 years.
With one out and the bases loaded in the bottom of the first, Korea's Moon Bo-gyeong hit a grand slam to right-center. Mar. 5, 2026
