The Korea Youth Baseball team beat Nicaragua to take the top spot in the group.
The youth team led by Lee Sung-yeol won 9-0 at Nikiragua in the fourth leg of the 29th 2012 18U Baseball World Championship (U-18) Group A Group A at Hyundai Motor Dreamball Park in Busan. The rain cold led to the Kyonggi run to the sixth inning.
Lee Min-ho, a pitcher nominated for the LG Twins, started the game and pitched five innings, one walk and five strikeouts. Nam Ji-min, who was called by the Hanwha Eagles, led Korea's attack with two hits and three RBIs.
Korea scored two points in the third inning with a single-man bases chance made by Nicaragua's mistake. After Jang Jae-young's ball, Park Min's batting was missed and a total of three points were scored. In the fourth inning, two outs scored in the second inning, adding an additional point, and in the fifth inning, he made a big inning with five points.
In the sixth inning, when Korea led 9-0, the rain was heavy during the Nicaragua attack, and Kyonggi was stopped; the unstoppable rain eventually declared Korea's rainfall cold victory.
