Daejeon Hanwha Life Eagles Park's game was canceled due to rain.
KIA Tigers and Hanwha Eagles were scheduled to face off at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on the 4th.
KIA's last away game in Daejeon this season. However, KIA will visit Daejeon once again.
About an hour and a half before the Daejeon game, it began to rain little by little.
There was a forecast of showers, but not a lot. However, the rain cloud began to grow little by little, and soon it turned into heavy rain.
Hanwha Life Eagles Park was also eventually equipped with an ultra-large tarpaulin covering the entire infield. In the end, the decision to cancel the rain was made about 25 minutes before the start of the game.
Even after the cancellation, the rain became thicker, and a puddle of water formed on the ground in an instant.
