A Seoul high school baseball team recently banned for trash talking decided to appeal the disciplinary decision on Wednesday.
The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education said Paichai High School will appeal the six-month suspension handed down by the Korea Baseball Softball Association (KBSA) last week.
The school had seven days in which to file its appeal and Wednesday is the deadline. Appeals against decisions by national sports governing bodies will be handled by the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee, the top national sports organization.
Paichai was suspended after some of its players derided their opponents from Gwangju Jeil High School during a late June tournament game in Seoul, yelling "Let's go to Starbucks!" and "Tank Day!"
