Taiwan's national baseball team's bat burned fiercely ahead of the "Great Battle of Destiny." His first win after two losses, which is also a perfect cold game victory.

Taiwan won the cold game 14-0 in the seventh inning with 15 hits against the Czech Republic in the third Group C match of the first round of the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC) held at Tokyo Dome, Japan at 12 p.m. on the 7th.

Taiwan, which bowed its head without scoring a single point in the previous match against Australia (0-3 loss) and Japan (0-13), continued its hope of advancing to the quarterfinals by succeeding in a two-game losing streak. On the other hand, the Czech Republic has been eliminated regardless of the results of the remaining games due to three consecutive losses.

Taiwan's momentum overwhelmed the Czech Republic from the beginning of the game. Taiwan, which scored the first point by combining Jung's surprise bunt and opponent's error in the top of the first inning, scored four points in the attack in the top of the second inning to win the game. Stuart Fairchild, who came to the batter's box with no outs and a full base chance, hit the first pitch of Czech starter Jan Novak and hit a grand slam over the left-center fence to run to 6-0.

Since then, Taiwan's attacks have not stopped. Jang Wi-cheong, a leading hitter from the Major League, coordinated his batting sense with multiple hits, and even the lower batters produced hits evenly, destroying the Czech mound. What was as encouraging as the explosion of the lineup was the stable pitching content. The starting pitcher, Zhuang Chen-jung Ao, stopped the Czech batters scoreless by striking out four in two ⅔ innings.

Left-hander Lin Yu-min's pitch, who took the mound as the second pitcher in the third inning, was even more overwhelming. Lin Yu-min, who is familiar to Korean fans as well, did not allow a single strikeout in two ⅓ innings with his unique tricky trajectory and sharp control. It was a decisive pitch that completely broke the Czech Republic's will to chase in the middle of the game. Lin Kai-wei, who took the mound afterwards, also neatly blocked one inning to complete Taiwan's scoreless victory.

With Taiwan's firepower revived, the match between South Korea and Taiwan at 12 p.m. on the 8th at Tokyo Dome will simply flow into a one-off match. From Taiwan's point of view, it is only possible to seek a ticket to the quarterfinals based on the "number of cases" if it beats South Korea. In particular, the fact that the batting line, which had only four hits against Australia and Japan, completely scored zero at the sacrifice of the Czech Republic on the day emerged as a major threat to the Korean national team. Baseball fans around the world are heading to Tokyo Dome tomorrow to see how the Korean mound can quell Taiwan's momentum after returning from the brink.
