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 Hyung-jun, and the Czech Republic started Danielle Padyšak 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 final-round tournament for the first time in 17 years.

With one out in the bottom of the third, Korea's Shay Whitcomb hits a solo home run to left. Mar. 5, 2026
