The Gwangju Championship KIA-NC game, which rained all day, was canceled due to rain. The canceled game will be held at the same venue on the 22nd. Gwangju and Jeollanam-do, where a heavy rain warning was issued, had a lot of rain from the 20th of the previous day.
The match between KIA and NC at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 21st was canceled due to heavy rain all day. A large tarpaulin was laid on the Champil ground, but it was flooded because water holes were formed around the ground and there was no drainage.
KIA and NC have the final showdown of the season left.
