On the 7th at the Tokyo Dome in Japan, the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC) Group C pool game between Korea and Japan was held.

Korea started submarine pitcher Ko Young-pyo, and Japan started left-hander Kikuchi Yusei. Korea, which made the semifinals in 2006 and finished runner-up in 2009 at the WBC, has failed to advance past the first round in the three tournaments since (2013, 2017, 2023). In this tournament, the team is aiming to return to the quarterfinal knockout stage. In the first game against the Czech Republic on the 5th, it opened with a big 11-4 win.
With two outs and runners on first and second in the top of the eighth, Korea's Kim Juwon hit an RBI single to center. 2026.03.07
