It's raining suddenly in Busan. Can the Lotte Giants-NC Dinos match be held.

Lotte will play three consecutive games during the week against NC at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 6th.

As of the previous day, Lotte played a total of 100 regular season games. He played the fewest games of the 10 clubs.

Conversely, it means the team with the most games left. It has not yet been confirmed whether the Ulsan game will be played again in Ulsan, an artificial turf, or Busan, for the first time in history 'Cancellation of Heat Wave'.

Lotte, which has 43 wins, 54 losses, and 3 draws, is ranking as low as 9th. It is only 0.5 game difference from the lowest Kiwoom Heroes.

On the other hand, there are only five games difference from SSG Landers, the last five. Even the leading KIA Tigers is facing an all-time ranking competition that is below the 60% winning rate.

A lot of the remaining games can be both hope and burden. Lotte, which has a winning rate of only 443, is good to dream of a great counterattack at the end of the season, but on the other hand, Lotte may play as an alternative starter while other teams have ace pitchers in turn. The burden on the thin bullpen will also increase.

Lotte, which has recently won two consecutive games and turned the turning point, is also not welcome rain.

The rain in Busan on this day was literally a downpour. Dark clouds that were not even in the forecast suddenly gathered from Yangsan, Gyeongsangnam-do, and hung over Sajik-dong. Heavy rain poured down from the dark sky. The rain, which is suddenly marked in the forecast, is expected to last more than an hour.

In the early days of rainfall, the stadium management team, which covered a small tarpaulin covering the mound and near the home plate, took out an ultra-large tarpaulin covering the entire infield when the rain's momentum was unusual.
