The LG Twins-Lotte Giants match, which was scheduled to be held at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 24th, was canceled due to ground conditions.
It was because of the guerrilla rain that fell the day before.
Since the game ended the previous day, Busan has received 160mm of heavy rain overnight. It was rain that was not in the original forecast.
Because there was no rain, Sajik Stadium only hit the mound and home as usual.
After 12 p.m., heavy rain poured down with thunder and lightning, and suddenly a heavy rain warning followed by a heavy rain warning in Busan, and heavy rain continued through the night until the morning.
And the Sajik Stadium ground had to get all the rain. Originally known as a well-drained stadium, Sajik Stadium was completely flooded with rainwater due to too much rain at once, and the rain stopped in the afternoon, but the ground was completely muddy and could not be in normal ground conditions even after the game began, so the decision was eventually canceled.
On this day, Lotte's Park Se-woong and LG's Choi Won-tae were expected to be selected.
Lotte tried to escape three consecutive losses by adjusting its starting lineup to Hwang Sung-bin (center fielder), Yoon Dong-hee (right wing), Na Seung-yeop (first baseman), Reyes (left wing), Son Ho-young (third baseman), Ko Seung-min (second baseman), Jeon Joon-woo (designated hitter), Park Seung-wook (striker), and Son Sung-bin (catcher), but it was postponed to the 25th.
