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

Korea started submarine Ko Young-pyo, and Japan started left-hander Kikuchi Yusei. Korea, which reached the semifinals in 2006 and finished runner-up in 2009 at the WBC, has since failed to advance past the first round in three consecutive tournaments (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, the team got off to a good start with an 11-4 rout.

With two outs in the top of the second, Korea's Kim Do-young is retired on a fly to right field. 2026.03.07
