"Cambodia Express" Thong Piavi (Woori Financial Capital), who was considered the favorite to win the Women's Professional Baseball (LPBA) World Championship, experienced a shocking elimination from the group stage.

Thong lost to Lee Shin-young (7-11, 6-11, 7-11) in the Group B loser of the "Hana Card Hana Capital Jeju Special Self-Governing Province PBA-LPBA World Championship" held at Halla Gymnasium in Jeju-si, Jeju-do on the 8th.

Despite not being a single match, he was eliminated from the group stage after losing to Natsumi Higashiuchi on the 6th.

He is the second-ranked player with nine career wins and accumulated prize money of 382.17 million won, but he became a victim of an unexpected event at the World Championship.

In the first set, Lee Shin-young took it 11-7 after a long game until 16 innings. Lee Shin-young, who took the first set, finished the second set 11-6 in five innings, and even the third set, Lee Shin-young won 11-7 (7 innings) to finish the game quickly. Throng also passed Abidge 1 in the second and third sets, respectively, but failed to stop Lee Shin-young's momentum.

Throng, who had never won a championship last season, made a brilliant comeback with two wins and one runner-up this season, but he packed up with disappointing results in the last tournament of the season.

Kim Ga-young (Hana Card), the season's No. 1 "Danggu Empress," was pushed to the final match by Han Ji-eun (SY) with a set score of 1-3 in the winner's match of Group A. Han Ji-eun won 11-7 (9 innings) in the first set and Kim Ga-young won 11-3 (5 innings) in the second set to become a set score 1-1, and Han Ji-eun took it 11-6 (7 innings) in the third set and 11-8 (12 innings) in the fourth set to secure the top spot in the group.

Kim Ga-young, who has been pushed to the final Group A match, will face her teammate Kim Jin-ah at 7 p.m. on the 11th. The two players, who faced each other in the first Group A match, will compete for the round of 16. In the first game, Kim Ga-young won the set score 3-2 against Kim Jin-ah.

"LPBA's Next Generation Star" Jung Soo-bin (NH Nonghyup Card) beat Kim Sang-ah (Harim) 3-2 in the Group H winner's match and advanced to the round of 16 as the top of the group. With the set score trailing 0-2, he won three sets and turned the game around. Jung Soo-bin, who finished second in the last tournament of the regular league's individual tour, beat Kim Da-hee 3-0 in the first match of the tournament and made it to the round of 16 with a scary momentum.

Kim Se-yeon (Huons), the first LPBA world champion, secured a ticket to the round of 16 by catching Kang Ji-eun (SK Rent-a-Car) 3-1 in the Group F winner's match.

In addition, Cha Yu-ram (Huons), Lim Jung-sook, Baek Min-ju (Crown Haitai), and Lee Woo-kyung (SW) confirmed their advance to the round of 16. On the other hand, Choi Ji-min (Huons), Kim Bo-ra, Lim Kyung-jin (High1 Resort), Jeon Ji-yeon, Kim Ye-eun (Welcome Savings Bank), Lee Mari, and Hwang Min-ji (NH Nonghyup Card) were finally eliminated from the group stage.

Along with Kim Ga-young and Kim Jin-ah, Higashiuchi, Lee Shin-young, Sakai-Kim Min-ah, Kwon Bal-hae-Han Seul-gi, Lee Mi-rae-Kim Min-young, Kang Ji-eun-Park Jung-hyun, Kim Bo-mi-Hida, and Kim Sang-ah-Kim Da-hee will play in the final match for tickets to the round of 16.

On the 9th, the fourth day of the tournament, the winner and loser of the PBA group stage will be held. The player who wins the winner's match will go straight to the round of 16, and the player who loses the loser's match will end the tournament schedule.
