The national baseball team has advanced to its first World Baseball Classic final in convincing fashion.

Korea crushed Venezuela 10-2 in Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles Saturday evening in front of more than 43,000 fans. This sets up a showdown in the final Tuesday morning Korean Standard Time against the winner of the U.S.-Japan semifinal Monday morning (KST).

With Korea off to a 2-0 lead in the first inning, Choo Shin-soo expanded the advantage with a three-run homer.

Venezuela also committed five costly errors in the game, including two in the first, matching its total for the entire tournament.

Right-hander Yoon Suk-min was the winner for Korea on the mound, giving up seven hits and two runs over six and a third innings. The losing pitcher was Carlos Silva, who gave up six earned runs and two homers in just one and a third innings.

Cleanup hitter Kim Tae-kyun had the other homer for Korea, a two-run shot in the second, and scored three runs.

Korea added another run in the fourth and two more in the sixth.
