On the 7th at Tokyo Dome in Japan, the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC) Group C pool play 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 straight tournaments (2013, 2017, 2023). In this tournament, the team is aiming to return to the quarterfinals. In the first game against the Czech Republic on the 5th, Korea earned a big 11-4 win for a strong start.
With one out and a runner on first in the top of the fourth, Korea's Kim Hye-seong belts a game-tying two-run homer to right-center. Mar. 7, 2026
