KBO League LG Twins Moon Bo-kyung (26) also decorated the official major league website gate with his crazy performance at the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC).

The official Major League website MLB.com said on the 9th (Korea Standard Time), "Is the moon in Miami? It broadcasted the 2026 WBC Korea-Australia match live with the phrase "Korean big gun hits a decisive home run."

At the same time, South Korea is playing the final Group C match against Australia in the first round of the 2026 WBC finals at Tokyo Dome, Japan.

Due to the WBC's first-round ranking rule, which determines the winner's win, the minimum run rate, and the minimum earned run rate among teams with tied wins, South Korea has to win Australia by five points with less than two runs.

However, the game was easier than expected. On the Australian mound, another LG-born Moon Bo-kyung pierced his blocked blood, with Lachlan Wells starting in the Asian quarter of the LG Twins this year.

In the top of the second inning, when leadoff hitter Ahn Hyun-min got on base with a hit on the left-field line, Moon Bo-kyung swung Wells' second pitch wide and over the right-center fence. The ball, which flew at 108.7 miles per hour (about 174.9 kilometers) per hour, hit the stands 430 feet (about 131 meters) over. A two-run first to announce South Korea's 2-0 lead.

It wasn't the end here. With South Korea leading 3-0 with one out and second base in the top of the third inning, Moon Bo-kyung hit Mitch Nunborn's third pitch and hit an RBI double to right-center. In the top of the fifth inning, Moon Bo-kyung hit a large RBI timely hit over the left field key with two outs and a runner on second base, making his fourth RBI on three consecutive hits.

As a result, Moon Bo-kyung recorded the most RBIs by Koreans in a single WBC tournament by posting 11 RBIs in this tournament alone, following five RBIs including a grand slam against the Czech Republic and two RBIs against Japan. The previous record was 11 RBIs in nine games by Kim Tae-kyun of the 2009 WBC, which Moon Bo-kyung achieved in four games.
