So much for the so-called pitcher's park.

South Korea flexed its muscles with three solo home runs and reliever Jong Hyun Wook kept his team in the game early as the Koreans routed Mexico 8-2 in the second round of the World Baseball Classic on Sunday at PETCO Park.

"We are happy to win today's game," South Korea manager Kim In Sik said. "I was worried about our (starting) pitcher, but it worked out pretty well after all. We had some lucky home runs and won."
