The 11-game losing streak against Japan ultimately was not snapped. Still, it was a textbook case of losing but fighting well.

Korea lost 6-8 to Japan in a Group C first-round game of the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC) at Tokyo Dome on the 7th. With this, Korea failed to end its 11-game skid against Japan. Korea moved to 1-1 in group play, while Japan improved to 2-0.

With one out in the top of the ninth, Japan's Shuto is making a jumping catch on a hit-bound ball by Korea's Jeormai Jones. Mar. 7, 2026
