On the 8th at the Tokyo Dome in Japan, the Group C first-round pool play game of the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC) between Korea and Taiwan was held.

Korea suffered a close 8-6 loss to Japan the day before (the 7th). Having earlier beaten the Czech Republic 11-4, Korea moved to 1-1 and must go all out in the remaining games against Taiwan and Australia.
