The U-12 youth team beat Taiwan to become the top team in the group league and beat Japan in the Super Round. The team has secured its place in the final by ranking No. 1 in the Super Round.
KBSA said on the 27th, "The Korean national team participating in the 11th Asian Youth Baseball Championship under the age of 12 in Matsuyama and Imabari, Japan, won 2-0 against Japan in the first game of the Super Round and ranked first."
In this year's Super Round, Japan and China advanced in Group A, and Korea and Taiwan advanced in Group B. Korea, which had one win in the opening round against Taiwan, secured two wins by securing even Japan. Although there is still a match against China on Sunday, even if the team loses the match based on the principle of winner's win, it will advance to the final. Until Thursday, Korea ranks first with two wins, Japan and Taiwan have one win and one loss, while China has two losses.
Korea started with Jang Ji-soo (Bonricho, Daegu). Jang allowed only one hit until the second inning to tie up the Japanese lineup. In the bottom of the second inning, Lee Jae-bin (Bucheonbuk Elementary School in Gyeonggi Province), the leadoff hitter, made an infield hit with his fast feet before stealing consecutive bases. With runners on the third and second bases with two outs, he boldly tried to stay at home, but failed to score a point.
In the top of the third inning, Jang Ji-soo's error led to a crisis of second base with no outs, but there was no run. Two out counts went up at once due to strikeouts and blocking stolen bases. Since then, there have been three consecutive on-base hits, but 0-0 has been maintained by finishing the inning without losing a point.
Korea scored in the fifth inning. With two outs, Oh Seung-hwan (Dongdong Elementary School in Seoul) hit to the left and Jeong Yang-woo (Dongmak Elementary School in Incheon) doubled to the center of the right to score the first run. Jung Yang-woo stepped on the third base and scored an additional goal while the opponent team's defense missed Byun Yul (Dongdong Elementary School in Seoul), and the score widened to 2-0. 안전놀이터
Thursday's game was held in an unfavorable weather, which was temporarily suspended due to heavy rain and strong winds. Following Jang Ji-soo, Park Sun-hong (Busan Suyeong Elementary School) and Jungwoo Kim (Gwangju Hakgang Elementary School) pitched the mound together without allowing a single goal against Japan under such conditions. Park Sun-hong, who did not allow a hit and pitched well with four strikeouts during three innings, became the winning pitcher.
Korea will play its second Super Round match against China, which ranks second in Group A, at Matsuyama Central Park Baseball Stadium on Sunday. Korea will then meet the winner of the Taiwan-Japan match in the final match on Sunday. Korea won the game against Taiwan 1-0 thanks to Park Sun-hong's walk-off home run in the opening round on Saturday.
