Our baseball team fought well against Japan in the semi-finals, but unfortunately lost the 8th inning. It's not over though. If you beat the USA in the losers semifinals tonight (the 5th), you have a chance to insult Japan in the finals.

<Reporter> The
national team took advantage of Japan's ace Yamamoto, taking advantage of the rest of his body, to get a chance at 2nd and 3rd in one out in the first inning, but Euiji Yang and Hyeonsu Kim of No.
Starter Young-pyo Ko, who was cruising, allowed a sacrifice fly to Sakamoto in the crisis of one-out second and third base in the 3rd inning, and allowed one more point to Yoshida in the 5th inning with a heavy hit.
The silent battalion counterattacked in the sixth inning.
Hae-min Park, who hit in the left field, stole up to second base due to a mistake in left field, and stepped on the groove when Baek-ho Kang's just-time hit.
Lee Jung-hoo's hit continued his first and third base opportunities, and Kim Hyun-soo attacked pitcher Iwazaki, who turned into an exquisite blow, and hit the tie-breaker.
The tight balance was broken eight times.
Go Woo-seok led Kondo to a ground ball in front of the first baseman in one-out first base, but he couldn't finish the inning because he couldn't step on first base to make a bum.
And in a two-out full base crisis caused by two walks, Yamada allowed a triple to double.
The national team lost 5-2 and did not make it to the finals.
[Kim Kyung-moon / Baseball Team Manager: I had a thought that Go Woo-seok would block him in that position. I will work hard again with the players to prepare well for tomorrow's game.]
The national team's top priority has been to recover the sense of hit by Yang Eui-ji and Oh Jae-il, who wielded bats at every opportunity.
There is still a chance.
The national team will once again advance to the finals in the losers semi-final against the USA today.
