(Taipei = Yonhap News) Reporter Dae-ho Lee = The Korean national baseball team lost 3-6 against Japan in the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) Premier 12 Group B group stage held at Taipei Dome in Taiwan on the 15th, effectively preventing them from advancing to the super round (semi-finals). It became difficult.
Korea, with 1 win and 2 losses in the group stage, is currently ranked 4th in Group B.
Korea can expect to advance to the group stage only by winning both the Dominican Republic match, which will be held at Taipei Tianmu Stadium at 7:30 p.m. on the 16th, Korean time, and the Australia match, which will be held at the same location on the 18th at 1 p.m.

After the Japan game, Park Dong-won expressed his intention not to give up, saying, “There is no guarantee that Japan or Taiwan will win the remaining games. Since we don’t know what will happen in baseball, we will do our best until the end.”
This tournament consists of six teams in Group A and Group B, and the second place in the group will advance to the super round.
In Group A, Venezuela (4 wins, 1 loss) and the United States (3 wins, 2 losses) secured the right to advance to the super round first.
The final standings of the Premier 12 group stage are ▲ Winner wins ▲ TQB (Team Quality Balance) calculated by the formula (runs/offensive innings) – (runs conceded/defensive innings) ▲ ER (earned runs) – TQB ▲ Among the tied teams, in the match between the teams. The team with the highest batting average is decided by flipping a coin.
Korea, which lost to Taiwan and Japan, will be pushed out of the rankings if its final record is the same as the two teams according to the winner-wins rule.
Among the few cases in which Korea passes the group stage, the one that can be expected to have the least possibility is the ‘all wins over Japan, 3 wins and 2 losses among 3 teams’ scenario.
Japan secures first place in the group, and Korea, Taiwan, and Australia are tied with 3 wins and 2 losses.
In this case, the winners of Korea, Taiwan, and Australia are tied together, so they must be ranked by TQB.
Korea, which lost 3-6 to Taiwan, must win by as many points as possible in its final group match against Australia.
If Taiwan wins the match between Taiwan and Japan to be held at Taipei Dome on the 16th, Korea’s advancement to the super round will virtually be canceled.
In this case, Taiwan has secured 3 wins, so Korea cannot surpass Taiwan, and Japan has lost both matches against the Dominican Republic and Cuba and must finish the tournament with 2 wins and 3 losses in order to advance to Japan’s Tokyo Dome, where the Super Round is held.
