#Baseball #6:20 PM #Finals South Korea vs. Japan #Challenging for 5th consecutive Asian Games title

The hottest match on the 8th day of the competition tonight (27th) is undoubtedly the baseball final between Korea and Japan. South Korea, having defeated China in the second match of the super round, has advanced to the final and continues its challenge for the 5th consecutive Asian Games title. Since South Korea lost 0-5 to Japan in the first match of the super round held before this, this final has become a rematch where they can repay the defeat and reclaim the gold medal. In this final, the key to the match is expected to be how much the central batting lineup, including Kim Do-young and Moon Bo-gyeong, whose hitting sense has begun to revive, can attack the Japanese mound, along with manager Ryu Ji-hyun's management of the pitching staff. From 6:20 PM, MBC will broadcast live from Nagoya with caster Kim Na-jin and KBO legend Jung Min-chul and 'The Closer' Oh Seung-hwan as commentators.
