The baseball team, led by head coach Ryu Joong-il, came from behind to win 9-6 in the fourth Group B match against the Dominican Republic at Taipei Tianmu Stadium in Taiwan on the 16th (Korea time). South Korea, which was dragged to 0-6 with only one hit until the top of the sixth inning, made a lucky four-run big inning in the bottom of the sixth inning due to the opponent's errors, and produced a big five-run inning again in the bottom of the eighth inning.
South Korea's batters were completely humiliated by Dominican Republic starting pitcher Franklin Kilome until the fourth inning. After two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning, captain Song Sung-moon hit his first hit. However, in the bottom of the sixth inning when the team was trailing 0-6, the Dominican Republic replaced Kilome, and he got two runs with an error in the second and third bases with one out, which was made with consecutive walks and a walk against Héctor Perez, who took over the mound. South Korea, which scored two more points after two outs, made a come-from-behind victory by scoring five points in the bottom of the eighth inning while maintaining a two-run gap amid bullpen pitching.
Coach Ryu said after the game, `I want to praise the players who did not give up until the end and won the game from behind. I want to say thank you." He was beaten by the opponent early in the game. After scoring four runs in the sixth inning due to an opponent's error, I thought I would come from behind"The early deployment of Park Young-hyun in the top of the eighth inning was also because he had two chances to attack."
Park Young-hyun, who took the mound after one out in the top of the eighth inning, became the winning pitcher by allowing no runs in the first ⅔. Manager Ryu said of Park Young-hyun, `The pitcher with the best pitching power in our team,' adding, `If I continue to play as a closing pitcher, I think I will become the best pitcher"I raised my thumb.
