In the second inning, a big hit by Park Byung-ho becomes a big home run that landed on the roof of the shooting seat next to the fence in center.

Baekho Kang, who is showing off his peak batting ability in the evaluation game, draws an extra-large arch that takes a high direct ball and disappears into the parking lot behind the outfield stands.

Signboard star Lee Jung-hoo also boosted his hitting streak with a multi-hit game, including the final inning, and the varsity batting line continued its hitting streak with double-digit hits in three consecutive games.

The key pitchers for Game 3 against Australia and Game 2 against Japan also stepped up one after another to improve their form.

Starter Ko Young-pyo pitched three innings cleanly with two hits, three strikeouts and no walks, and Kim Kwang-hyun, who struggled with the change-up ball in his first at-bat, also pitched two scoreless innings with one hit and no earned runs.

Yang Hyun-jong, who started for the first time, also pitched one scoreless inning.

Of the seven pitchers who pitched, only Gu Changmo still struggled with the change-up pitch and scored the only run.

[Lee Kang-kang/WBC Team Manager: The fielders seem to be in good shape, and the pitchers will be able to get in good shape if they play a little bit or two.]

With a better airborne balance, the squad will be looking to improve their form in the remaining two evaluation matches.
