Korea A defeats Korea B to win Asia-Pacific Zone Colt Championships

Korea's A and B teams continued to dominate, after four and a half days of play at the 2017 Asia-Pacific Zone Colt Championships in Seoul, Korea. Both teams garnered undefeated records heading into the championship game, after advancing past Japan and China, respectively, in the semifinal rounds. Korea A used a seven-run bottom of the third inning to build a sizeable lead that it never relinquished against Japan in the first game of the day to win 9-2. Korea B's offense exploded for 17 hits in the day's second game, as the Koreans also took advantage of six Chinese errors to win comfortably 13-6.

In the championship game, Korea A attacked offensively early, scoring five runs without allowing a run through three innings. Though Korea B scored two runs in both the fourth and fifth innings, it was not enough to overcome the deficit and Korea A won 6-4.

Now garnering the Asia-Pacific Zone Colt Championships title, Korea A receives the Zone's automatic qualifying bid to the Colt World Series, Aug. 4-9, in Lafayette, Indiana. It will be the second-consecutive year in which Korea will represent the Zone at the Colt World Series. Last year, the team won two games against Central Michigan (16-13) and Greensboro, North Carolina (13-6), respectively, before falling in the quarterfinals to Lafayette, Indiana (10-3). Korea A will participate in its first game at the Colt World Series Friday, Aug. 4 at 1:30 p.m. ET/US against the East Zone Champion, who will be determined Sunday, July 30 in Greensboro, North Carolina at the East Zone Colt Championships.
