However, high humidity filled the ground even before the game. Raindrops began to fall little by little after 5 p.m. when the away team head coach briefing was held. Still, it wasn't enough to affect the game. The game began following actor Jang Hee-jin's first pitch.
The game proceeded relatively quickly as Wilkerson and Kwak Bin pitched well. However, as we entered the beginning of the third inning, a sudden downpour began.
After one out, Lotte had a chance with one out and runners on first and second bases with Park Seung-wook's walk and Hwang Sung-bin's hit. However, the referee announced the suspension of the game and withdrew the team. The stadium management team came out and laid small tarps around the mound and home plate.
The game was suspended at 7:03. However, while the team and the referee avoided the dugout, the rain quickly died down. Eventually, the referee resumed the game again at 7:10 p.m., seven minutes after the game was suspended.
Lotte loaded the bases with two outs with Jeon Joon-woo's walk, but Reyes failed to take advantage of the opportunity as he stepped down with a fly ball.
