Park Se-woong pitched 6 innings, Choi Ji-min pitched 1 inning, and Park Young-hyun pitched 2 scoreless innings, laying the foundation for victory. Noh Si-hwan played a decisive role in the victory by hitting a sacrifice fly to left field in the 6th inning with 1 out and runners on 1st and 3rd base, and a heavy hit with 2 outs and 2nd base in the 8th inning.
Japan’s power was also formidable. They were blocked by starting pitcher Shuichiro Kayo’s 150 km/h fastball and were unable to score until the 5th inning. It was only in the 6th inning, when Gayo was running out of steam, that he succeeded in scoring his first run. Mizuki Kato, Yuki Kataya, and Katsutoshi Satake, who followed, also faced Korean batters with sophisticated ball control and velocity.
As for the batting lineup, the leadoff hitter reached base in the 1st, 4th, and 5th innings, but no follow-up hit occurred. He didn’t bunt, and he didn’t use small balls. He pushed hard in the 9th inning with 1st and 2nd bases out and no outs, but retired with an infield grounder and double play. Following the 0-1 loss against China, they were humiliated by a 0-2 defeat against Korea. Things could have been different if he had bunted.
Manager Akio Ishii said, “I thought the players could have exerted a little more strength, but it was disappointing. The game was not strange even if the flow went our way. The pitching staff of both teams pitched well. Kayo pitched well until the third inning. “He evaluated.
The site dedicated to the Japanese national team reported the game news in detail and pointed out that Japan’s batting line had scored no points again following the match against China. There was a difference with Korea, which consisted of professionals under the age of 25.
Shoji Kitamura, who scored two hits, expressed his disappointment, saying, “The difference in power with Korea was clear. If you play baseball like this, you can’t win. If the team loses, it’s the same and my performance has nothing to do with it.
