The national team, led by head coach Seok Soo-chul (Gunsan Sangil High School), won 2-1 with an 8-0 complete victory over Italy in Game 4 of the opening round at Nishijaki Stadium in Okinawa, Japan, on the afternoon of the 8th.
Shin Dong-gun (Dongsan High School 3) was the starting pitcher, and Oh Jae-won (Yoo Shin High School 3), Um Jun-sang (Deok High School 2), Shin Jae-in (Yoo Shin High School 3), Kim Ji-seok (Incheon High School 3), Lee Hee-sung (Wonju High School 3), Ahn Ji-won (Busan High School 3), Kim Gun-hwi (Chungam High School 3), Kang Min-ki (Busan High School 3), and Park Ji-ho (Gunsan Sangil High School 3).
Shin Dong-gun struck out leadoff hitter Federico in the top of the first inning, then gave up a walk to second batter Pablo, but ended the first inning neatly by catching third batter Patrick with a double play in front of shortstop. This walk was the only on-base allowed by South Korea to Italy on the day.
Shin Dong-gun returned the Italian batters with three outs in both the second and third innings. Lee Tae-yang (Incheon High School 3), who took the mound in the fourth inning, blocked the fourth inning with only eight balls and struck out two in the fifth inning, blocking six batters perfectly. It was up to Eom Jun-sang, a second-year student, to finish the game. Um Jun-sang showed up to 153km of fastballs and scored five strikeouts against Italy's six batters, completing the milestone of his team's no-hit run in six years since the 2019 World Cup.
Kim Ji-seok (2 hits in 2 at-bats, 2 walks, 2 points) took the lead in the lineup. Kim Ji-seok, who was the leadoff hitter in the second inning, got on base with a deep infield hit to the second base and advanced to the second base on the wild pitch of the opposing pitcher. Lee Hee-sung's sacrifice bunt hit home while Italian defenders made an error, creating the first and final score. Italian pitchers showed difficulty in control enough to allow eight walks on the day, and Korean batters were not greedy and won the game with a play that induced the opponent's defense's error centered on the on-base. South Korea has two wins and one loss as of the 8th, with the match against South Africa postponed due to rain in the third game.
