'I got it again.' Jamsil's water bath after only five minutes of heavy rain. Can we play the Hanwha-LG game?

Jamsil Stadium on the 27th. The Hanwha Eagles-LG Twins match was supposed to be held, and the weather was good. There were clouds, but it wasn't a rainy day at all, and sometimes the sun shone.
Of course, Jamsil Stadium was ready for training. A batting cage was installed, and there was a net to throw batting balls on the mound side. It was one of the tranquil daily lives.
But at 2 p.m., the raindrops began to fall. Although there were some dark clouds in the sky, it did not fill the sky, and there was a white cloud on the side of Samseong-dong, so it was not likely to rain heavily. Just as I thought for a moment that there might be a shower, heavy rain began to fall.
The problem is that there was no tarpaulin on the ground at all because they did not think it was raining and prepared for normal training. There was a tarp only on the mound.
In just five minutes, Jamsil Stadium's infield became a sea of water. It only opened the tarpaulin on the groove. It's too late to put a tarp on the infield ground. After that, the heavy rain subsided, but the rain continued and stopped at around 2:20 p.m. However, as it began to rain little by little again, LG players came out to the outfield and began to warm up. Since it is raining on the infield ground, the weather is likely to affect whether the game will be held or not.
On the previous day, Jamsil was canceled due to local heavy rain. The sudden downpour caused the ground to become a sea of water again, making it impossible to be optimistic about the progress of the game.
On this day, LG's Lim Chan-kyu, who was scheduled to take the mound the day before, was expected to start as it was, and Hanwha was changed from Moon Dong-ju to Ryan Weiss the day before.
Lim Chan-kyu has a 4.35 ERA with 6 wins, 4 losses and 1 hold in 16 games this season. In the game against Hanwha, he has taken the mound in two games and has a 1-1 record and an ERA of 5.56.
On March 24, his second game of the season and his first appearance of the season, he became a losing pitcher with seven hits (two home runs), one walk, five strikeouts and three runs in six innings in Jamsil, and in Daejeon on May 23, he recorded four hits (one home run) with two walks and three strikeouts in five ⅓ innings, but his team won 8-4 to become a winning pitcher.
Weiss, who came as a substitute for Ricardo Sanchez, is 1-1 with a 3.45 ERA in five games.
He met LG for the first time in Daejeon on the 14th and became a losing pitcher with nine hits, two walks, seven strikeouts and five runs in six ⅓ innings. He pitched well with one run until the sixth inning, but took the mound in the top of the seventh inning and lost four runs.
