On the 5th at 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 Hyung-jun, and the Czech Republic sent 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 tournament in all three subsequent tournaments (2013, 2017, 2023). In this tournament, it aims to reach the main tournament for the first time in 17 years.

With one out in the bottom of the fourth, Korea's Kim Do-young goes down on strikes. Mar. 5, 2026
