Should I say it's because it's been a while. The mound was thrown as much as expected, but the lineup did not explode.
Ryu Ji-hyun, the new captain of the Korean baseball team, won his debut match.
The national team will play a warm-up match against the Czech Republic in the K-baseball series at Gocheok Sky Dome for two days on the 8th and 9th, and on the first day, it recorded a 3-0 complete victory with the power of a stable mound.
The mound was as perfect as it could be. A team no-hitter could have come out of the international game. A total of seven pitchers, including starter Kwak Bin, were deployed, with Lee Ho-sung giving up a total of three hits in the sixth inning, Lee Rowoon in the seventh inning, and Cho Byung-hyun in one hit each, and he surely silenced the Czech batters with 17 strikeouts.
Starting with four strikeouts and no hits in two innings, starter Kwak Bin pitched a perfect series of pitches, including Kim Gun-woo (two innings, two walks, four strikeouts) and Choi Jun-yong (one inning, one hit, one walk, three strikeouts) and Lee Ho-sung (one inning, one hit, one strikeout, and no run) and Lee Ro-woon (one inning, one hit and no run), Kim Taek-yeon (three strikeouts in one inning) and Cho Byung-hyun (one inning, no hit and one strikeout in one inning).
However, the lineup, which had only five hits, was disappointed. The opponent recorded two errors on five walks, but he could only score three points.
South Korea consisted of Joo Won (striker), Ahn Hyun-min (right wing), Song Sung-moon (second baseman), Noh Si-hwan (designated hitter), Kim Young-woong (third baseman), Han Dong-hee (first baseman), Park Hae-min (middle fielder), Choi Jae-hoon (catcher), and Kim Sung-yoon (left wing).
In the bottom of the first inning, Korea created a scoring opportunity with a walk by the first Kim Joo-won, an opponent's wild pitch, and Ahn Hyun-min's fly to center field, making it 1-0 with Song Sung-moon's thunderous right-handed hit. However, Noh Si-hwan and Kim Young-woong struck out consecutively and failed to score additional points. In the bottom of the second inning, Han Dong-hee's double to the right-center, Park Hae-min's sacrifice bunt to the first baseman, and Choi Jae-hoon's sacrifice fly to center field added one more point to make it 2-0.
However, South Korea's scoring has since subsided. Ahn Hyun-min's hit and Song Sung-moon's walk in the bottom of the third inning created a chance for one out and runners on first and second bases, but Noh Si-hwan's catcher Paul Fly and Kim Young-woong stepped down with a ground ball in front of the shortstop. In the fourth and fifth innings, he was blocked by the changed pitcher Hlucci and got only one walk without a hit, and the inning ended quickly.

The South Korean mound, which did not get a hit until the fifth inning, allowed the fourth pitcher Lee Ho-sung to make his first hit. Lee Ho-sung, who had a right-handed hit by the front-runner Escala, struck out No. 3 Prokop. When the first pitch came to Hloob No. 4, first baseman Escala stole second base and was safe. In a situation where a single hit could lead to a run, Lee Ho-sung finished the inning by treating Hloob with a ground ball in front of the third base and Sindelka with a ground ball in front of the second base.
The chance came in the bottom of the sixth inning. With the change to left-handed pitcher Ercoli, Kim Young-woong walks and gets on base. When he was heading to second base, he seemed to be out after being caught by pitcher Ercoli's check ball, but when he threw the check ball, the pitcher balk was declared and Kim Young-woong walked to second base. Han Dong-hee's hit was a ground ball to shortstop, but the shortstop took the ball out of his glove and dropped it, making it safe. Lee Jae-won, who has been on the defense since the sixth inning with one out and runners on the first and second bases, appears. A fly to left field, though it went wide to the left. Subsequently, Moon Bo-kyung came out as a pinch hitter at Choi Jae-hoon's at-bat. However, it became a high outfield fly, and the center fielder caught it and went scoreless again.
Fortunately, an additional point was scored in the bottom of the eighth inning. After the second death, Kim Young-woong's hit and Han Dong-hee's infield ground ball gave the last chance for the first and second bases, and Lee Jae-won hit a double over the height of the right field. The second baseman homered, 3-0. However, first baseman Han Dong-hee stopped at third base, and Lee Jae-won saw Han Dong-hee playing home, thinking she was playing home, and ran to third base, only later to see Han Dong-hee stop at third base, and eventually was tagged out in the middle of the second and third bases, failing to continue the opportunity to score additional points.
The mound was also good in the second half. The Czech Republic's march of zero continued as Lee Ro-woon blocked the seventh inning with a three-out strikeout and Kim Taek-yeon ended the eighth inning with three strikeouts, and Cho Byung-hyun came out in the top of the ninth inning and had a hit after two outs, but finished the game by striking out the last batter.
