Lotte Giants manager Kim Tae-hyung talked about the aftermath of the heat wave game.
Lotte won the game against the LG Twins 8-3 at Munsu Stadium in Ulsan on the 3rd.
The game was held after many twists and turns. The game was canceled on the 2nd due to the record heat wave in Ulsan. It was just as hot on the 3rd. On top of that, Munsu Stadium is an artificial turf, so the geothermal heat emitted from it was enormous. However, KBO pushed ahead with holding the game. Not only manager Kim but also LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop raised his voice, saying there was no reason to push ahead with the game, but the game was held as scheduled.
The game ended safely and without incident. But there were minor aftereffects.
Coach Kim, who met ahead of the LG match on the 4th, said "I felt okay as the sun went down during the game time. But the players immediately had the aftereffects. Four players lay down."
Players who sweated a lot in too hot weather showed signs of exhaustion. After the game, two players had to lie down without eating, and a day later, two other players reported similar symptoms. The four were Jeon Joon-woo, Yoon Dong-hee, Ko Seung-min, and Cho In-geun, who played as the main players.
Coach Kim said, `I didn't do anything before the game. Still, he said he could play today's game, showing a worried look.
