MIAMI, March 13 (Yonhap) -- South Korea absorbed a 10-0 loss to the Dominican Republic in the quarterfinals of the World Baseball Classic (WBC) on Friday, as its first trip to the knockout stage lasted just one game.
The Dominican Republic scored three times in the second and four more times in the third at loanDepot park in Miami, while South Korea managed just two hits.
The game was called with two outs in the bottom of the seventh when Austin Wells launched a three-run homer off So Hyeong-jun to put the Dominicans up by 10. Under the WBC rules, a game is terminated when a team is up by 15 runs after five innings or 10 runs after seven innings.
South Korea starter Ryu Hyun-jin allowed three runs on three hits in just 1 2/3 innings. His counterpart, Cristopher Sanchez, limited the opponent to two hits and struck out eight over five scoreless frames.
