Korea must win the remaining games against Australia. Meanwhile, if Taiwan loses both against Australia on the 17th and against Cuba on the 18th, it is possible to advance to the super round like a miracle. Of course, if Taiwan wins just one of the two games, Korea will be eliminated from the group stage.
After resting on the 17th, the national team will play against Australia, the last game of the group stage, at 1 p.m. on the 18th at the same venue.
◆’Autumn Man’ Lim Chan-gyu, save the national team
Lim Chan-gyu, who held the fate of the national team on the brink, could not help but feel heavy on his shoulders.
On this day, the national team started with starting pitcher Lim Chan-gyu, Hong Chang-ki (left fielder), Shin Min-jae (second baseman), Kim Do-young (third baseman), Moon Bo-kyung (designated hitter), Park Dong-won (catcher), Song Seong-moon (first baseman), Yoon Dong-hee (right fielder), Park Seong-han ( Shortstop) – Choi Won-jun (center fielder) formed the starting lineup.
National team coach Ryu Joong-il said before the game, “The starting lineup is collapsing quickly, so the bullpen is overloaded. (Lim) Chan-gyu needs to go as many innings as possible.”
Chan-gyu Lim is the ace of his team, the LG Twins, and achieved three consecutive wins in the semi-playoffs and playoffs this postseason, tying for first place in consecutive starts in a single season postseason. Because he showed good pitching in a big game, there were a lot of expectations for today’s game.

The Dominican Republic opposing this is Ricardo Cespedes (center fielder) – Alan Hanson (second baseman) – Kelvin Gutierrez (third baseman) – Andreti Cordero (designated hitter) – Rainer Nunez (first baseman) – Arismendy Alcantara (shortstop) – Luis The lineup consisted of Mieses (left fielder), Frank Rodriguez (catcher), Michael de Leon (shortstop), and starting pitcher Franklin Kilomero.
Kilome has gained a lot of experience in the minor leagues. His career records were 139 games (118 starts), 31 wins, 43 losses, 2 holds, 1 save, and an average ERA of 3.97 in 614 innings. In the Major League, he has experience playing in 4 games in 2020.

◆ Shaky from the beginning… Even ‘Autumn Man’ Lim Chan-gyu couldn’t save the national team.
This is a national team where even Lim Chan-gyu has collapsed.
At the beginning of the game, Lim Chan-gyu was shaken. He continued to pitch unsettled from the first inning, and eventually, unable to last through the fifth inning, he left the mound early.
Chan-gyu Lim did not allow a run in the top of the first inning, but allowed consecutive infield hits to Cespdes and Hanson, putting the team on first and second base with no outs. Fortunately, he blocked the follow-up hit, but it was far from the powerful pitch of Lim Chan-gyu we knew.
In the end, the anxiety became reality. Lim Chan-gyu gave up the first run in the top of the second inning. After receiving a heavy hit from leadoff hitter Alcantara, he gave up consecutive walks to Mieses and Rodriguez due to poor ball control, leaving the bases loaded with no outs. Although bleeding was minimized, conceding goals could not be avoided. While Lim Chan-gyu caught The Leon through a double play between the shortstop, second baseman and first baseman, he allowed a runner on third base to score, making the score 0-1.

The additional run was allowed in the top of the 4th inning. After allowing a double to leadoff hitter Nunez, follow-up hitter Alcantara hit a two-run home run over the right fence, making the score 0-3. In the end, the national team chose to replace the mound. Lim Chan-gyu was kicked out early after recording 5 hits (1 home run), 3 strikeouts, 2 walks, and 3 runs in 3 innings.
So Hyun-jun, who took the mound after him, was unable to suppress the Cuban batting lineup. After back-to-back hits by Rodriguez and De Leon, with two outs and 2nd and 3rd bases, Hanson gave up an RBI and timely hit, widening the gap to 0-4.

◆Silent batting lineup and additional runs allowed → Subdued national team atmosphere
The national team’s batting line was tightly tied to Dominican Republic starter Kilome and was unable to create opportunities.
The national team, which had been silent, hit its first hit in the bottom of the fifth inning with two outs. Just before the turning point of the game, Song Seong-moon hit a mid-game hit and went on to the national team. It was such a frustrating attack. The game continued to be lethargic, with 14 batters in a row giving no hits.

The national team was unable to hit a single hit until Song Seong-moon’s leadoff hit in the bottom of the fifth inning with two outs. Taipei (Taiwan), reporter Park Ji-young
It wasn’t enough to catch up, but the national team conceded additional goals and played a difficult game. Reliever pitcher Cho Byeong-hyun hit a home run to Alcantara with two outs in the top of the fifth inning, making the score 0-5. In the top of the sixth inning, with two outs, Cespedes was allowed a double to left field and a stolen base. And with 2 outs and runners on third base, Hanson gave up an RBI and timely hit, widening the gap to 0-6.
The national team’s mood seemed to have calmed down due to the unresolved game. To make matters worse, Kim Do-young, the key player in the attack, was replaced after complaining of pain in his left hip joint during defense. It seemed like the national team wasn’t having any luck.

◆It can’t end like this… The national team shows strength after being judged by Kilome.
The national team’s batting lineup, which had been sleeping, woke up in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Leadoff hitters Park Seong-han and Choi Won-jun got consecutive walks against relief pitcher Hector Pérez, putting first and second base on base with no outs. Afterwards, Hong Chang-gi retired with a grounder to first base and had the opportunity to score on second and third bases with one out.

Afterwards, Moon Bo-kyung’s grounder to second base resulted in Park Dong-won hitting a left-field hit with one out and runners on second base, with one out and runners on first and third base.
