On the 5th at the 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 Hyeong-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.

In the bottom of the seventh with no outs and a runner on second, Korea's Moon Bo-gyeong hits an RBI single. Mar. 5, 2026
