The young Korean baseball team, who is 22.1 years old on average, drew 7-7 with Kim Joo-won's two-out tie solo shot in the bottom of the ninth inning. He allowed only 12 walks and four walks to push, and the bullpen collapsed on its own, but after the batters chased to the end, he created a miracle of a draw.

South Korea drew 7 to 7 in the second warm-up match against Japan of the "2025 NAVER K-BASEBALL SERIES" held at Tokyo Dome, Japan on the 16th. The warm-up match ended at the end of the ninth inning as they agreed there would be no overtime.

As in the first game, South Korea scored three points first, but allowed a 3-3 tie, and Shin Min-jae's timely hit led again 4-3, but immediately gave up three points to be reversed 4-6. He got only one run in the bottom of the seventh inning with one out and a full base, and gave up one run again in the top of the eighth inning, but Ahn Hyun-min's solo shot in the bottom of the eighth inning and Kim Joo-won's tying solo shot in the bottom of the ninth inning made it 7-7.




The South Korean mound, which gave up 11 four outs in the first game, also gave up 12 walks on the same day, exposing his ball control anxiety.

Both South Korea and Japan changed their starting lineup. Some players are used evenly because it is an exhibition match, but it seemed to mean using a player with a good batting sense.

South Korea consisted of Shin Min-jae (2nd baseman), Ahn Hyun-min (2nd baseman), Song Sung-moon (3rd baseman), Han Dong-hee (1st baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (designated hitter), Moon Hyun-bin (left fielder), Kim Joo-won (striker), Choi Jae-hoon (catcher), and Park Hae-min (middle fielder). Han Dong-hee, who came out as a pinch hitter the previous day and hit sharply, took the fourth place.




Japan has also adjusted its lineup. It consists of Isuki Murabayashi (striker), Isami Nomura (third baseman), Shota Morishita (middle fielder), Shuto Maki (designated hitter), Micho Nishikawa (left fielder), Yukinori Kishida (possession), Tai Sasaki (first baseman), Taiki Ishigami (second baseman) and Ryota Isobata (right fielder). Four new starters, including Murabayashi, Kishida, Ishigami and Isobata, were selected.

South Korea is on the verge of losing points first.

There was a big crisis in the top of the second inning. Jung Woo-joo did not lose a point, even though he walked and made mistakes, which are the official rules of losing points. Jung Woo-joo, who gave up a walk to the leader Maki, caught Nishioka's ball himself and created a chance to double play, but the ball thrown to the second base fell to the side, making it a crisis for the first and second bases with no outs.




Kishida, who had a come-from-behind three-run shot the previous day, safely succeeded in a sacrifice bunt, with one out and runners on second and third bases. Jung Woo-joo, who breathed a sigh of relief after Sasaki's ball flew to the front of second baseman Shin Min-jae, struck out left-handed batter Ishikami with a slider.

At the end of the third inning, Korea had its first chance. When the lead Choi Jae-hoon walked and got on base, Park Hae-min hit a double that fell into the left-wing line to create the best chance for the second and third bases with no outs. Expectations for scoring were even higher as Shin Min-jae, who had three hits the previous day, and Ahn Hyun-min and Song Sung-moon, who hit home runs, came out one after another.

Shin Min-jae struck out swinging on the slider, but Ahn Hyun-min walked after a full count match and loaded the bases with one out. And Song Sung-moon pulled a 126km outside slider on the sixth pitch in the full count to make a clean right-handed hit. As the second baseman leaned a little towards the second base and positioned himself in defense, Park Hae-min also homered when Song Sung-moon hit second base, and Ahn Hyun-min, a runner at 2-0. First base, ran to third base during the home pitch, leading to a chance of one out and runners on first and third bases.

When Han Dong-hee struck out swinging, first baseman Song Sung-moon ran to second base. And when the catcher throws to second base, third baseman Ahn Hyun-min immediately runs home. When the second baseman caught the ball, Song Sung-moon stopped to buy time, and when the second baseman saw the home, Ahn Hyun-min had already almost arrived at the home. And Song Sung-moon is safe by running back to second base when the second baseman sees home. He made it 3-0 by teasing the Japanese defense with a nice double steal.

South Korea, which was on the verge of losing points immediately after scoring the previous day and eventually had to play hard by losing points, faced a crisis as soon as starting Jung Woo-joo, who allowed no hits, one walk, and four strikeouts in three innings, went down.

In the top of the fourth inning, the second pitcher Oh Won-seok came up, and he allowed a double to the right-center to the lead Morissita, and gave up a walk to Maki, making it the first and second bases with no outs. He took a breather by striking out Nishikawa on three pitches, but allowed Kishida to walk, loading the bases with one out.

And Sasaki gave up one run on a heavy hit. With the bases loaded with one out, Ishikami allowed a walk to push it to 3-2.

In the end, a pitcher change. Cho Byung-hyun took the mound. However, Cho Byung-hyun also allowed a walk to Isovata, tying the game 3-3 with another run.

Murabayashi's hit seemed to be a heavy hit, but second baseman Shin Min-jae caught it and made a double play leading to shortstop-1 and South Korea was able to take a breather.

In the bottom of the fourth inning, Korea created a chance to lead again. Leading Moon Hyun-bin hit a clean right-handed hit against second pitcher Naoto Nishiguchi. Moon Hyun-bin, who had a hit stolen the previous day due to a bad call, had a pleasant first hit.

After Kim Joo-won struck out swinging on a folk ball, Moon Hyun-bin stole second base during Choi Jae-hoon's at-bat. Choi Jae-hoon was struck out swinging at an opportunity with one out and runners on second, and Park Hae-min's turn. However, Nishiguchi's change-up at 2B2S hit Park Hae-min's body. With two outs and runners on first and second bases, Shin Min-jae hit a left-handed hit, and Moon Hyun-bin came home and South Korea led 4-3. Ahn Hyun-min came in with two outs and runners on the first and third bases, and Nishiguchi was definitely wary. Three balls came in one after another. Full count on foul on the fifth pitch following a strike on the fourth pitch. The sixth pitch went high and a walk led to the bases loaded with two outs.

Song Sung-moon's first pitch quickly rolled toward the first base line, but the first baseman, who was defending from the back, caught him and stepped on the first base to score no additional points.

It's a crisis again in the top of the fifth inning. Cho Byung-hyun struck out the lead Nomura, but he allowed consecutive walks to Morisita and Maki, making it one out and first and second bases. Also, Kim Young-woo, a high school graduate rookie, took the mound.

Kim Young-woo tried to catch Nishikawa's ball, but it hit the glove and became an infield hit that bounced toward the second baseman, loading the bases with one out.

And Kishida's at-bat, who hit a come-from-behind three-run shot the previous day. However, Kim Young-woo struck out swinging with a high slider on his body for the sixth time in 2B2S. With two outs and a full base, he couldn't control his ball against Sasaki and tied it 4-4 again with a walk. And Ishikami was upset 4-6 by a right-handed hit. While the right fielder threw the ball to the third base, Ishikami also settled to the second base, continuing the crisis with two outs and runners on the second and third bases.

It became another unfavorable count of 3B1S against Isovata, but after driving to a full count, he finished the inning by catching it with a fly to center field.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, No. 4 pinch hitter Noh Si-hwan played a persistent game with Japan's third pitcher Shinya Matsuyama to the eighth pitch, but he was out with a ground ball in front of the third base. Moon Bo-kyung was also caught with a ground ball in front of the third baseman and was out for two, and Moon Hyun-bin completed a multi-hit with a heavy hit. Kim Joo-won flew to the outfield, but he was caught by the center fielder, ending the bottom of the fifth inning.

In the top of the sixth inning, Park Young-hyun, the king of saves this season, took the mound. Park Young-hyun, who easily handled the first Murabayashi with a fly to right field and Nomura with a ground ball in front of third base, caught Moshirita with a foul fly to third base and made a three-out exit. The ball headed toward the fence, and Song Sung-moon extended his arm in front of the fence and caught it.

Park Young-hyun is the first Korean bullpen pitcher to make a three-out inning throughout the first and second games.

At the bottom of the sixth inning, he met Chihiro Sumida, Japan's fourth pitcher. Choi Jae-hoon drew a walk, but Park Hae-min was caught on a fly to right field, and Shin Min-jae's hit was on the verge of double play due to a ground ball in front of the third baseman, but the third baseman was unable to quickly take out the ball in his glove, throwing it to first base to become a second base with two outs and a chance for Ahn Hyun-min.

After picking out Ahn Hyun-min's walk, Song Sung-moon's turn again with two outs and runners on first and second bases. However, this time, he was struck out swinging by Sumida's low change-up and failed to catch up again.

Park Young-hyun, who also took the mound in the top of the seventh inning, struck out the lead pinch hitter Seishiro Sakamoto with a slider, and handled Nishikawa with a fly to right field and Nakamura with a ground ball in front of shortstop, recording a perfect two innings.

In the bottom of the seventh inning, the opportunity came to Korea again. Moon Bo-kyung and Moon Hyun-bin got consecutive walks from fifth pitcher Hiroto Takahashi and Kim Joo-won got on base with a hit ball, loading the bases with one out.

Park Dong-won entered Choi Jae-hoon's at-bat as a pinch hitter and won the game. Park Dong-won hit a sacrifice fly to left field, and Park Hae-min hit a heavy hit with two outs and runners on first and second bases. However, Moon Hyun-bin was tagged out by the center fielder's throw. The ball came first, but it leaned to the left, and the catcher ran to tag, and Moon Hyun-bin tried to slide while avoiding, but the tag came first. He even made a video review, but the catcher's mitt was clearly seen to touch first.

In the top of the eighth inning, rookie Bae Chan-seung came up. He caught the leadoff Sasaki with a ground ball in front of the second base, but pinch hitter Kazuma Okamoto was allowed to walk after a full count match. Shin Min-jae quickly caught it and threw it to first base as Isovata's ball deflected off Bae Chan-seung's glove and deflected it to 1-2 bases, but it was safe. In Murabayashi's at-bat with one out and runners on the first and second bases, the first pitch fell to the side and became the second and third bases. Right fielder Ahn Hyun-min quickly ran over Murabayashi's short fly to the right and caught it for two outs. Nomura went all the way to a full count match, but he walked and loaded the bases with two outs. There was no strike in the match against Morissita. After three consecutive balls, he caught a strike with a foul, but eventually became his fifth ball and dedicated one point to pushing it away. Pinch-hitter Kenya Wakatsuki was grounded out in front of the shortstop to end the long eighth inning.

In the bottom of the eighth inning, Ahn Hyun-min's power surprised Japanese pitchers once again. After one death, Ahn Hyun-min rolled up Takahashi's 152km fastball in the eighth inning and hit a solo shot over the left-center fence. This time, the batting speed was 161.1km. Again, 6-7, one point difference. He expected an equalizer from Song Sung-moon and Noh Si-hwan, but struck out one after another.

In the top of the ninth inning, Kim Seo-hyun took the mound to prevent Japan's last attack. Kim Seo-hyun, who caught Nishikawa with a ground ball in front of the shortstop in the first pitch, allowed Nakamura to walk straight, however. Sasaki then hit a hit to right-center and was in crisis with one out and runners on first and third bases. Gojono's ball went straight to the first baseman, and the first baseman threw home to narrow the third baseman and two outs. With two outs and runners on the second and third bases, Isovata was caught with a fly to center field and finished scoreless.

South Korea's attack in the bottom of the ninth inning. Japan posted its last pitcher, Daisei Ohta. Moon Bo-kyung and Moon Hyun-bin are out in succession, so two outs. However, Kim Joo-won hit a tiebreaking solo shot over the right-center fence to make it a draw.
