Missing out on the Tokyo 2020 podium piles additional disappointment for South Korea after the United States won against them in the semi-finals, denying them the chance of winning a second straight gold in baseball at the Games. The team had two returnees, including former Major Leaguer Kim Hyun-soo, from a 2008 run when baseball last appeared in the Olympics. Kim shook hands of winning Dominican friends on Saturday as he left the field.
