On the 7th at the Tokyo Dome in Japan, the Group C pool play game of the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC) between Korea and Japan was held.
Korea started submarine Ko Young-pyo, and Japan started left-hander Kikuchi Yusei. After reaching the semifinals in 2006 and finishing runner-up in 2009 at the WBC, Korea 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 quarterfinal knockout stage. On the 5th in the opener against the Czech Republic, the team started strong with an 11-4 blowout win.
With two outs and runners on first and second in the top of the eighth, Korea's Kim Juwon hits a run-scoring RBI single to center. 2026.03.07
