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 sent out 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 knockout stage in all three subsequent tournaments (2013, 2017, 2023). In this tournament, it is aiming to reach the main knockout stage for the first time in 17 years.

With no outs in the bottom of the seventh, Korea's Ahn Hyunmin hit a single to left. Mar. 5, 2026
