The South Korean baseball team scored 10 home runs, while Japan`s team recorded eight.
At the 2018 Asian Games, each team has "Home Run King."
Of the 10 home runs recorded by the South Korea team, four were made by Hwang Jeugyun. Meanwhile, Japan also has an ace for a home run Tamura, who also recorded four home runs.
The Japanese baseball national team challenges South Korea, which is named as the defending Asian Games champion, in the final.
