<Reporter> The infield defense,

which yesterday (6th) failed to adapt to the unfamiliar artificial turf and made three errors, has completely changed in one day.

Shortstop Kim Ha-sung struck out three difficult batters to make him a finalist for the big league Gold Glove.

Second baseman Edman also handled tricky bound batted balls perfectly, matching with the pitcher to keep the runner on second base in check.

Third baseman Choi also handled a difficult foul ball and added to the Hosbyshaw.

The organizational skills of the batting line also shone.

In the fifth inning, Yang Kai-won hit a hit-and-run to open the scoring, and in the eighth inning, Park Hae-min scored a wedge with an exquisite squeeze bunt.

Substitute Kim Hye-sung hit a solo home run over the right-field fence.

The pitching staff had six scoreless innings, including starter Park Se-woong, while Koo Chang-mo, who was scheduled to play against Japan, and Jung Woo-young, a key member of the bullpen, were unhappy.

After the final evaluation match ended with a 3-3 victory, Lee Kang Kang applauded Edman for putting his hand on his chest during the pre-game national anthem.

[Tommy Hyun-so Erdman/WBC infielder: Even in the United States, I put my hand on my chest when I played the national anthem, and I put my hand on it because I was proud to be with the Korean team.]

Ko Woo-suk, who complained of neck pain, was able to compete normally as a result of the check-up and there were no major abnormalities.

The national team is on its way to Tokyo as of this time.

Tomorrow we wrap up the preparations for the opening with the last official practice.
