SCORIGAMI: South Korea 22, China 2 is the first 22-2 game in World Baseball Classic history

World Baseball Classic got a brand-new final score on March 13, 2023. South Korea beat China 22-2, and in every World Baseball Classic game since 2006, no game had ever ended that way before.

The league's previous scorigami was 18-8, Canada over Great Britain on March 12, 2023, 1 day earlier. This is World Baseball Classic's 11th new final score of the 2023 season, and the grid now holds 46.5 percent of every realistic final score.

Its closest neighbors show how tight the score space had become: 23-2 had still never happened and 22-3 had still never happened. It lands on the high-scoring frontier of the grid, the sparse territory that only fills in on the rare night the points pile up.
