Players are exhausted from vomiting, and the aftermath of the heat wave game explodes...Lotte-LG match canceled in a surprise move
The game between Lotte and LG was canceled once again due to the heat wave.

On the 4th, when the match between the two teams was scheduled to be held, Ulsan Munsu Stadium suffered from measles due to the heat wave.

The Ulsan series between the two teams had a lot of talk and troubles due to the heat wave. The first game, which was scheduled to be held on the 2nd, was canceled due to the heat wave. It was the first time since the inauguration of the KBO League that a game could not be played due to the heat.

The problem is that the 3rd was just as hot, but the game was pushed ahead. It was based on the judgment that the weather conditions were slightly better than on the 2nd. Lotte manager Kim Tae-hyung and LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop all "It doesn't make sense", but the game was held.

I thought the game was over without a big problem. However, the aftereffects came from the squad. After the game, Lotte's Jeon Joon-woo, Yoon Dong-hee, Ko Seung-min, and Information-geun showed signs of exhaustion. LG also showed severe exhaustion, including Park Dong-won and Moon Bo-kyung after the game, and Shin Min-jae also suffered.

KBO manager Huh Sam-young considered whether to host the game, checking the ground condition continuously on the 4th. In particular, Sunday's game started at 5 o'clock, so I had no choice but to play in a hotter state than the game at 6 o'clock or 6:30 o'clock. Munsu Stadium is an artificial turf, so the geothermal heat is extremely hot.

In the end, coach Huh waited until 4 p.m., an hour before the start of the game, and made the final inspection at 3:50 p.m. And I decided to cancel it at 3:55 p.m.
