The youth baseball national team participating in the 11th Asian Youth Baseball Tournament (under 12) Japan's Matsuyama & Imabari won the first game of the qualifying round with a 10-0 cold victory over Hong Kong in the fifth inning.
Korean national team starter Cha Dong-hyun (Seoul Galsan Elementary School) got off to a shaky start in the top of the first inning when he gave up a straight walk to Hong Kong leadoff hitter Chan Lochtao. He attempted a diving catch to catch No. 2 Nicholas' bunt, but missed it, and faced a crisis of first and second base with no outs. Third batter Sunny's bunt hit the same way as the previous at-bat, and this time, Cha Dong-hyun succeeded in a diving catch to catch the first runner and immediately put up two outs. After that, Cha struck out the follow-up hitter to prevent a run.토토사이트
Korea took the first run. In the bottom of the first inning, leadoff hitter Oh Seung-hwan (Seoul Dongdong Elementary School) advanced with a double that separated the left-center field before successfully stealing a base. Oh garnered the first run by hitting a grounder by Kwon Si-hwan (Gyeonggi Hopes High School) with one out and runners on the third base and Oh garnered the first run. Afterwards, Jeong Yang-woo (Incheon Dongmak Elementary School) made the first and second bases with two outs and runners on the first and second bases, and Jang Ji-hyung (Gyeongnam Yangdeok Elementary School) made an extra run by hitting the left-handed side.
In the bottom of the second inning, Lee Ki-yoon (Chungnam Onyang Hot Spring Elementary School) made a double and steal to the center, and Oh Seung-hwan's walk and steal to create chances for runners on the second and third bases with one out. Yoon Tae-min (Chungbuk Seokgyo Elementary School) made an additional score when he grounded out, and Oh Seung-hwan rushed home while the opponent catcher put the ball back when Kwon Si-hwan hit the batter's box, widening the gap to 4-0.
In the fourth inning, he garnered four runs with a walk by Lee Ki-yoon, infield bunt hits and stolen bases by Lim Ji-seop (Seokgyo Elementary School, Chungbuk), consecutive hits by Oh Seung-hwan and Yoon Tae-min, and timely hit by Kim Do-yoon (Dogok Elementary School, Seoul). This was not the end of the game. With runners on second and one out, Jung Yang-woo hit a two-run homer in the middle of the month, and added two more runs to create a whopping six big innings in the fourth inning, setting the conditions for a 10-0 cold game. Cold games at this year's event have 15 runs in the fourth inning and 10 runs in the fifth inning.
After starting pitcher Cha Dong-hyun (one hit, two walks and two strikeouts in one ⅔ inning), Jung Yang-woo (one ⅓ inning) and Lee Ki-yoon (one inning) continued their scoreless streak, and Yoon Tae-min blocked one inning with one walk and two strikeouts in the fifth inning to complete the 10-0 cold game victory. The Korean mound effectively blocked Hong Kong's batters by allowing only one hit.
In the batting lineup, leadoff Oh Seung-hwan made two hits, one RBI, three runs, three stolen bases, and one walk from two times at bat. Fourth batter Kim Do-yoon also showed off his batting performance by making three hits, one RBI, and two runs from three times at bat.
