The South Korean national baseball team for players under 12 years old (U-12) kicked off the 12th Asia Youth Baseball Championship (under 12) with a cold game victory.
On the 10th, Korea secured a 15-0 win over Thailand in the first round of the preliminary stage at the Guoli Youth Baseball Stadium in Hangzhou, China, showcasing balanced performance in both pitching and hitting to achieve a 4th-inning cold game victory.
Starting pitcher Lim Seung-hu (Seokgyo Elementary School) threw 44 pitches over 2⅔ innings, recording six strikeouts and effectively shutting down the Thai lineup. Despite persistent rain throughout the match, he maintained stable pitching. Following him, Lee Tae-ha (Gagong Elementary School) pitched the remaining 1⅓ innings without allowing any runs, with both pitchers combining for four scoreless innings.
The batting lineup also recorded 10 hits over four innings, scoring 15 runs. In particular, the top of the order—Lee Ha-jun (Seorim Elementary School) at first, Oh Seok-chan (Suncheon Namsan Elementary School) at second, and Yeo Ha-jun (Bucheon Buk Elementary School) at third—combined for six hits, four RBIs, and seven runs, leading a powerful offensive display.
Placed in Preliminary Group B alongside Taiwan, Thailand, and Hong Kong, South Korea will face Taiwan in the second preliminary round match on the 11th.
