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

Korea fell just short, 6-8, in the game against Japan on the 7th. Having previously defeated the Czech Republic 11-4, Korea moved to 1-1 and must stake everything on the remaining games against Taiwan and Australia.

In the bottom of the fifth with no outs and a runner on first, Korea's Ahn Hyunmin reached third base on Moon Bo-gyeong's single to center and was catching his breath. Mar. 8, 2026
