Korea edges rival Japan, wins Pool A

TOKYO -- Korea came back from a devastating loss to Japan to turn the tables and win the final game of Pool A of the World Baseball Classic, 1-0, in a pitchers' duel at Tokyo Dome on Monday night.
南韓前場對日本被"扣鬥"，沒關係，這場捲土重來
在這場A組冠軍賽展開了投手大戰，最後1:0擊敗了日本，連續兩屆拿下分組冠軍！

Japan starter Hisashi Iwakuma retired the first nine batters he faced but got himself into a jam in the top of the fourth inning. After walking leadoff man Jong Wook Lee, Iwakuma gave up a single to Keun Woo Jeong, and Tae Kyun Kim singled home Lee for the 1-0 lead.
日本先發的岩隈久志前三局讓南韓打者九上九下威面八封，但第四局被金泰均打了支左外野邊線的安打
送回李宅根丟掉一分，也是全場唯一的一分

Korean left-hander Jung Keun Bong was highly effective, allowing only three Japanese hits over the 5 1/3 innings, those being a pair of singles by Kenji Johjima and one by Hiroyuki Nakajima. Bong struck out two and walked none.

Iwakuma also pitched 5 1/3 innings, giving up the one run on two hits. He struck out five and walked three.
南韓的先發奉重根丟了5.1局只被打出3支安打，沒有保送還送了兩個三振
而岩隈久志也丟了5.1局，只被打出2支安打、送出5個三振但也送了3個保送，丟掉1分

Korea finished Pool A with a 3-1 record, having defeated Chinese Taipei and China and splitting two games with Japan. Japan was 2-1, scoring victories over China and Korea.
最後南韓以3勝1敗、日本以2勝1敗的成績，雙雙進入複賽

Both teams will join the winner and runner-up of Pool B (consisting of Australia, Cuba, Mexico and South Africa) to form Pool 1 and play at San Diego's PETCO Park, beginning on March 15.
兩隊將在15號和B組的冠亞軍進行8強複賽

才剛說過，就算中華淘汰了，但皆下來一定還有許多精彩比賽
這場日韓大戰就不看可惜了！特別是日本整場漂亮的守備......
無人出局23二三壘有人的Double Play，這場光看到這一幕就夠了！

奉重根在2002~2003曾短暫的效力於勇士，成績平平
不過最有價值的貢獻是拿來當交易籌碼，和紅人換來了Reitsma...XD
2004投過幾場被紅人釋出後，就回到南韓重新發展
而這一場，他也投的出乎意料的好！
其實南韓大有機會把比數拉開，不過有可能太急於搶分、跑壘太過積極
再加上日本守備傳球之精準，屢次在壘包前封殺了南韓的跑壘者
清木宣親殺了三壘一次、城島健司牽制了一次、中島裕之也給一壘來個回壘不及的雙殺
最棒的還是無人出局二三壘有人的情況下，把這兩位跑者給雙殺出局

這個不容易，要同時有守方的完美守備和攻擊方的積極跑壘才做的到......XD
