Son Joo-young, a left-hander who started against Australia, kept one scoreless inning, but was replaced as soon as he took the mound in the second inning.

Son Joo-young started the fourth game of Group C against Australia at Tokyo Dome in Japan on the 9th and recorded one hit and one walk in one inning.

Son Joo-young, who caught leadoff hitter Travis Bazana with a fly ball to center field in the bottom of the first inning, hit Curtis Mead the next time and walked Aaron Whitefield, but did not lose a point by hitting Alex Hall and Jarryd Dale. The number of pitches was rather high. He threw 27 pitches and had 15 strikes among them.

At the start of the second inning, Son Joo-young took the mound, but suddenly signaled to the dugout to check his physical condition. Manager Ryu Ji-hyun also showed a conversation and eventually got off the mound. They judged that it was too much. Instead of Son Joo-young, Noh Kyung-eun took the mound. An official from the national team informed the field reporters, "Son Joo-young was replaced because he felt uncomfortable with his elbow."

In a desperate crisis of the sudden departure of the starting pitcher, "Veteran" Noh Kyung-eun took over the mound. Despite the sudden appearance, Noh Kyung-eun gave the national team a breath by keeping the Australian batting line clean in the bottom of the second inning without allowing a run.

However, South Korea, which consumed its starting card early in the final Group C match, which will determine its qualification for the quarterfinals, will have to endure the rest of the inning with the bullpen's "all-out war."
