The baseball team, led by head coach Ryu Joong-il, won a dramatic 9-6 come-from-behind victory against the Dominican Republic in the group stage of 'Premier 12' at Taipei Tianmu Stadium in Taiwan on the 16th. The Korean national team was being dragged 0-6 until the fifth inning with no goals scored. The Korean national team, which has already lost two games to Taiwan and Japan, was burdened. In the match against the Dominican Republic, pitchers allowed runs in succession from the beginning, making the game difficult.
However, a chance finally came at the end of the sixth inning. Park Sung-han, who took the batter's box as the leadoff batter, got on base with a walk, and later scored two points due to the opponent's throwing error in the chance of second and third bases with one out. And with consecutive timely hits by Moon Bo-kyung and Park Dong-won, a total of four points. The Korean national team, which followed by a two-point gap, completed a great upset in the bottom of the eighth inning. Song Sung-moon's RBI timely hit with one out and runners on the first and third bases made a one-run chase.

Coach Ryu Joong-il used Kim Joo-won as the starting shortstop in the match against Taiwan, the first game of the tournament. In the match against Taiwan, Park Sung-han, who was waiting on the bench, started as the starting shortstop from the second game against Cuba. He went 2 for 4 against Cuba, 2 for 4 against Japan, and 1 for 3 with a decisive come-from-behind timely hit. After the game, Park Sung-han said in an official interview, "(After hitting a triple)'I did it'." I only thought of that. The ball is flying, but inside 'Wow! I did this. I got goosebumps. I got a shiver all over my body."
