It was a practice match against the Sangmu, but it was actually a match between Cheongbaek and Cheongbaek.

Before the Korean baseball team left for Taiwan, almost all the players participated in the final game, strengthening their sense of play.

The national team lost to Sangmu 1-2 in a practice game at Gocheok Sky Dome on the 6th. Sangmu scored two points in the top of the first inning, and after the national team scored one point in the bottom of the first inning, the game continued until the ninth inning without scoring.

In fact, it's a game where winning or losing doesn't matter. As the final entry had to be decided, it was important to check the players' condition. Perhaps that's why more national team players participated than Sangmu players, so it felt like a blue-and-white match between the national team and the national team rather than a practice match against Sangmu.

The national team consisted of Hong Chang-ki (left wing), Yoon Dong-hee (right wing), Kim Do-young (third baseman), Park Dong-won (possession), Song Sung-moon (second baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (first baseman), Kim Hwi-jip (designated hitter), Park Sung-han (striker), Choi Won-jun (middle fielder), and the managing director was Lee Joo-hyung (center fielder), Shin Min-jae (second baseman), Na Seung-yeop (first baseman), Kim Hyung-joon (catcher) - Kim Joo-won (striker), Han Dong-hee (designated hitter), Lee Jae-won (left wing) -. From Sangmu's 1st to 5th, five players were representatives and only four players were Sangmu. Catchers Han Jun-su and Kim Young-woong were the only players among the fielders who failed to make the cut. Han Jun-su replaced Park Dong-won at defense in the top of the seventh inning. Kim Young-woong, who has uncomfortable shoulders, is likely to be eliminated from the national team because he cannot play in the end.

In the case of pitchers, national team pitchers continued to come out of both teams and throw after three innings each by national team starter Ko Young-pyo and Sangmu starter Kwak Bin.

Sangmu, who scored the first run with three consecutive hits by Shin Min-jae and Na Seung-yeop and Kim Hyung-joon after one out in the top of the first inning, added one run with Han Dong-hee's right-handed hit with two outs and runners on the first and third bases to lead 2-0. The national team also scored one run in the bottom of the first inning with a lucky double that fell onto Park Dong-won's right wing with two outs and a second base steal made by Hong Chang-ki. Hong Sung-moon's heavy hit led to a chance for two outs and runners on first and third bases, but Moon Bo-kyung was caught on a fly to the third baseman and failed to score additional points.

Since then, both the national team and Sangmu have failed to target national team pitchers, leading to a 0 march.

Lee Ju-hyung hit after two outs in the top of the second inning, but failed to steal second base, and Kim Hwi-jip got on base with a hit ball at the end of the second inning, but Kim Joo-won withdrew due to a double play in front of the second base. Ko Young-pyo, who started the national team, allowed five hits until the third inning, but allowed two runs with three strikeouts with no four outs. Kwak Bin also allowed three hits, one walk, one strikeout, and one run in three innings.

After that, it was a 0 march until the ninth inning.

Following Ko Young-pyo, Lim Chan-gyu, Lee Young-ha, So Hyung-joon, Kim Seo-hyun, Cho Byung-hyun, and Park Young-hyun blocked all innings without losing a point, and Yoo Young-chan, Kwak Do-gyu, Kim Taek-yeon, Jung Hae-young, Choi Ji-min, Jeon Sang-hyun handled one inning each. Belief in the national team's proud 'Bullen of Dreams' has grown.

However, Ryu Seung-min struck out and Oh Tae-yang, third baseman, stepped down with a ground ball in front of the shortstop.

In the bottom of the eighth inning, Yoon Dong-hee hit an infield hit after two outs, resulting in a match between Kim Do-young and Choi Ji-min's players on the same team. Kim Do-young hit a strong ball, but Sangmu shortstop Park Jung-hyun caught the bound well and was out.

In the top of the ninth inning, Park Young-hyun got a hit by Han Dong-hee, but he finished the game without a run, and in the bottom of the ninth inning, Jeon Sang-hyun came out as Sangmu's last pitcher and blocked the national team's batters without a run.
