中華民國台灣隊在世界棒球經典賽首度登場出師不利，先發投手李振昌1局下出現亂流，一口氣失去6分，讓比賽一開始就拉開了差距，最終中華民國台灣隊以0比9敗給韓國隊。

韓國隊投手柳賢振在1局上就先保送了中華民國台灣隊一棒林哲瑄，賽前就打算用戰術來幫助搶分的教練團下令短打，不料二棒蔣智賢點成投手前小飛球，遭到韓國雙殺，得分機會化為烏有。

前天進牛棚練投100球的李振昌，從比賽開始就找不到好球帶，連續投出3次四死球形成滿壘，被韓國四番金泰均打出2分打點的安打，先失2分。但李振昌的惡夢還沒結束，解決五番李大浩後又保送了秋信守，然後被七番李晉暎一棒打出右外野大號的滿貫砲，李振昌黯然退場。

韓國隊的攻勢沈寂了3局後，又在5、6兩局甦醒，各打出3支安打，包括二番鄭守根的2分砲，一共追加3分，讓比分差距到達提前結束邊緣的9分，不過7、8兩局無法得分，讓中華民國台灣隊逃過被提前結束的命運。

中華民國台灣隊在韓國投手群壓制下，只有5支安打，其中4、9兩局都是首打席連續2支安打，但是大好的得分機會都在雙殺守備下結束。由於比賽開始就大幅落後，所以除了1局外，教練團並沒有機會下達戰術，不過韓國隊發動5次雙殺守備(4雙殺打)，讓中華民國台灣隊無法越雷池一步。

中華民國台灣隊投手表現最好的是第一任中繼投手鄭凱文，剛和日本職棒阪神虎談定加盟事宜的鄭凱文表現傑出，主投1又2/3局沒有失分。其他兩任後援投手廖于誠、林柏佑分別失去1分及2分。

打擊方面以開路先鋒林哲瑄表現最佳，3打數2安打，還獲得1次保送。防守也有精彩表現，1局下迅速處理朴勍完的深遠安打，回傳給隊友將他觸殺出局，避免擴大失分的危機。而蔣智賢、高志綱及替補上場的郭嚴文，各打出1支安打。

落入敗部的中華民國台灣隊（Taiwan, ROC，IOC編碼：TWN）將在明天(7日)上午11點30分迎戰首戰敗北的中國隊（China，IOC編碼：CHN），輸球的一方將會率先在A組預賽出局；獲勝的韓國隊（Korea，IOC編碼：KOR）和日本代表（Japan，IOC編碼：JPN），則是要在晚間6點交手。

Korea makes grand statement in rout
Six-run first inning more than enough to down Taiwan of the ROC

TOKYO -- Right-fielder Jin Young Lee belted a grand slam to cap a six-run first inning, and Keun Woo Jeong blasted a two-run shot in the bottom of the sixth to give Team Korea an overwhelming 9-0 victory over Taiwan of the Republic of China in World Baseball Classic Pool A action on Friday night at Tokyo Dome.

Following a bases-loaded two-run single to left by cleanup hitter Tae Kyun Kim, Lee connected off Taiwan of the Republic of China starter Chen-Chang Lee, who was knocked out after throwing 27 pitches. His control was not there, as he walked three and hit one Korean batter before giving up the homer.

Korea added to its lead in the bottom of the fifth, scoring a run on an infield single by Dae Ho Lee, and Jeong's homer the following inning put the game away. Starting left-hander Hyun Jin Ryu pitched three innings of no-hit ball, striking out three, and was the winning pitcher.

Taiwan of the Republic of China could not get anything going and managed just five hits against four Korean pitchers.

"Sometimes you score a lot, other times you can't score at all," said Korean manager In-Sik Kim, whose club did not score much during exhibition games prior to the start of the World Baseball Classic. "Our hitters were hot tonight, so we were able to put a lot of runs on the board."

Winning pitcher Ryu learned three days prior to the game he would be the starter.

"I knew if I did not give up any runs, my team would win, and that's the way it worked out," said Ryu. "I was really excited when they gave me that six-run lead in the first inning."

Manager Kim said he realized he was taking a chance in starting the 20-year-old Ryu, who had not pitched before in Tokyo Dome.

"I had a lot of confidence in him and he came through just fine," said Kim.

Taiwan of the Republic of China hurt its own cause by hitting into five double plays.

"Our hitting just did not work out tonight," said Taiwan of the Republic of China manager Chih-Hsien Yeh. "The three [Korean] left-handers did a good job on us. We had our chances, but the double plays really hurt us."

Both teams were backed by small but loud cheering sections on their respective sides of the Tokyo Dome stands, with the Korean fans on the third-base side and the Taiwan of the Republic of China supporters behind the team's first-base dugout. A contingent of Korean rooters, clad in the team's white jerseys with blue lettering, took up an entire section in the left-field bleachers, no doubt inspiring their players. Announced attendance was 12,704.

The ceremonial first pitch prior to the game was thrown by former Japanese baseball great Isao Harimoto, who amassed 3,085 hits during his career, a Japan pro baseball record. He was also prominent in founding professional baseball in Korea.

By winning Game 2 of the Asia Round, Korea goes on to meet Japan on Saturday night, while Taiwan of the Republic of China will play China Saturday afternoon at Tokyo Dome.
