Korea lost to Chinese Taipei 5-4 in extra innings at the World Baseball Classic (WBC) on Sunday, coming out on the wrong end of a back-and-forth battle with multiple lead changes. Chinese Taipei broke a 4-4 tie in the top of the 10th and stranded the tying run at second in the bottom half of that inning at Tokyo Dome, finishing Pool C play with a record of 2-2. Korea has now lost two straight games after an opening win over Czechia. With a 1-2 record, Korea will wrap up the first round against Australia at 7 p.m. Monday. The top two teams at the end of pool play on Tuesday will qualify for the quarterfinals. Australia, 2-0, will face another 2-0 nation, Japan, in Sunday's night cap at the dome. If Australia upsets Japan, then Korea will be eliminated from knockout contention. If Japan prevails, then Korea will still have a chance to advance in a tiebreaking situation by beating Australia on Monday.
