The NC Dinos-Hanwha Eagles match, which was scheduled at Cheongju Stadium on the 22nd, was canceled due to rain. An hour and a half before the start of the game, a strong rainstorm covered the sky. The rain, which lasted for about 30 minutes, soon became thinner, but it continued to come again and again.
Hanwha officials on the home team began maintaining the ground from 5:50 p.m., when the rain died down. However, the rain soon thickened again, and each base was covered with a tarpaulin with the work stopped.
The KBO game management committee began to inspect the ground about 20 minutes before the start of the game. Although the amount of rain decreased, it was not 100% because it has been steadily going on since the morning. Although the renovation was completed, factors that could be concerned about the safety of players, such as slippery dugout stairs and artificial turf, could not be ignored. In the end, after much consideration, the decision to cancel the rain was made at 6:19 p.m.
According to the remaining games announced by KBO earlier, there is no separate preliminary date for the NC-Hanwha match. KBO will schedule the canceled games later on that day.
