Busan Sajik Stadium faced another sudden downpour.

The Lotte Giants will play Game 3 of the week series against the NC Dinos at Sajik Stadium in Busan on the 8th.

Lotte has won four consecutive games in August, showing a reality of 8Chiall. Depending on the team, there are less than 40 games left in the regular season. Maybe it's the last peak time to knock on the fall baseball.



However, Lotte still has an opportunity as a fierce ranking battle is taking place this year. Lotte is five games away from the fifth-place SSG Landers, the last place in the fall baseball league.

Lotte was on the verge of falling to the bottom in early August, trailing the last Kiwoom Heroes by 0.5 games. It's still on the brink, but there's still a good time to step on.



On this day, Lotte players started outdoor training early on. Before batting practice, players such as Yoon Dong-hee, who bunt training, and Son Ho-young and Choi Hang, who receive funkos, stood out.

Raindrops began to fall at Sajik Stadium at around 3:10. As usual, this summer's heavy rain quickly turned into heavy rain in less than 10 minutes. The storm was so stormy that Lotte players cleared the cage and the view turned white without time to do so.

After 3:30 p.m., I wondered if the raindrops were getting thinner, but soon, heavy rain began to fall again. Lotte players put the cage away to the end of the ground, and the stadium management team ran out and installed an extra large tarpaulin covering the entire infield.

Lotte canceled two of its three consecutive games against the LG Twins in Ulsan last weekend due to a heat wave. Except for this, they are all winning SSG Landers (1 game), LG (1 game), and NC (2 games).

The starting player on this day is Lotte's Lee Min-seok and Derek Jokish, who is wearing a new NC uniform.
