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 started Danielle Padysak.

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 runners on first and second in the top of the fifth, Korea's Jeong Woo-joo gave up a three-run home run to the Czech Republic's Terin Vavra and looked dejected. Mar. 5, 2026
