Czechia loses to South Korea in World Baseball Classic

Czechia lost another game in the Group B World Baseball Classic playoffs on Sunday, this time losing 3-7 to South Korea. After a winning start on Friday where they beat China 8-5, the Czech team subsequently lost 2-10 to Japan on Saturday.

Although Japan's advancement to the quarterfinals is already assured and they will likely be the winner of Pool B, having won all three of the games they have played so far, Czechia's chances of advancing to the quarterfinals have not been completely dashed - there is still the possibility of a three-way tie for runner-up in Pool B between Korea, Australia, and the Czech Republic. If this happens, they would then be ranked by which team had the fewest runs divided by the number of defensive outs recorded in the games played between the three countries.
