Game 1 of the Korean Series between Samsung and KIA at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 21st. The game, which was suspended due to rain at the top of the sixth inning with no outs and runners on the first and second bases, was eventually decided to be a suspended game. The game will resume at 4 p.m. on the 22nd. Gwangju = Reporter Jeong Jae-geun cjg@sportschosun.com /2024.10.21/



The first suspended game of the Korean Series at Champions Field in Gwangju on the 21st came out.

The postponed game will resume at 4 p.m. on the 22nd, the next day.

A rare scene never seen in the postseason. It's a matter of extreme interest.



The problem is rain. According to the Korea Meteorological Administration's forecast, more than 2mm of rain per hour will continue until late at night from 4 p.m. on this day.

As of 10 a.m., the rain stopped for a while. I walked on a large tarpaulin that I had covered up all night and started maintaining it. However, it is raining intermittently and repeatedly.



The sky is dark, too. Dark clouds are flowing so low that it is not strange whenever it rains.

The problem is a suspended game that will begin while the rain stops. It coincides with the time when the rain resumes.

The game will resume in the top of the sixth inning of Samsung's Kim Young-woong's at-bat and 1B0S with no outs and runners on the first and second bases, leading 1-0 with Kim Hun-gon's first solo home run.

In this case, there is hope for Samsung, which was unfair.

He lost Won Tae-in, who threw only 66 pitches until the fifth inning, and was disappointed that the attack flow on the first and second bases with no outs was cut, but there was a possibility of winning the resumed game with the help of rain.

According to the baseball rules that stipulate the requirements for the establishment of the official game, if KIA fails to continue the game due to rain at the end of the sixth inning, it ends with a rainfall cold. If Samsung finishes the bottom of the sixth inning with Samsung leading, it can win a rain call if it rains and fails to play. This is why the strongest pitcher should be put in first, regardless of the order of taking the mound.

KIA must prevent Samsung's attack on the first and second bases with no outs and tie or overturn it at the end of the sixth inning. You can get a ridiculous cold game loss in just one or two innings.
