Korea can only advance to the bronze medal match if it beats Japan. In a desperate situation, Kim Tae-hyun of Gwangju Il High School took the starting mound. He is the only high school student who participated in this national team.
He got the first run in the top of the second inning. No. 7 Kim Doo-hyun (Kia Tigers) scored the first point with a sacrifice fly in the first and third bases with one out made by consecutive hits by No. 5 Ryu Hyun-joon (Doosan Bears) and No. 6 Choi Sung-min (kt Wiz).
Starter Kim Tae-hyun blocked the Japanese lineup with no hits by striking out four until the fourth inning, but he handed over the mound to Song Jae-young (Lotte Giants) by giving up a hit and a walk after getting the runner on base with an infield error in the bottom of the fifth inning. Kim Tae-hyun's pitching performance was one hit, five walks, four strikeouts and two runs in four innings, and his earned run was zero.

In the last attack in the top of the seventh inning, No. 7 Kim Doo-hyun attempted a squeeze bunt with one out and third base opportunity obtained by leadoff hitter Ryu Hyun-joon's left-hand double and No. 6 Choi Sung-min's sacrifice bunt, but third base runner Jung An-seok (Hanwha Eagles) was ruled out at home. After a long video review, the centrifugal was maintained and eventually gradually lost to Japan.
South Korea, which recorded one win and four losses in the 5th World Baseball Championship (under 23) Super Round, unfortunately finished the tournament in sixth place. Meanwhile, the national team will return home on Monday 16th (Monday) at 15:10 OZ360.
