Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 22nd. As of 9 a.m., there are large water holes throughout the ground. Not only in front of the KIA Tigers dugout on the third base, but also the Samsung Lions dugout on the first base. Water is also collected on a large tarpaulin covering the entire infield.
On this day, he has to play the remaining innings and the second game of the first game of the Korean Series, which was declared suspended. The first game, which was enforced in the rain on the 21st, was suspended in the top of the sixth inning with Samsung's Kim Heon-gon making the first run with a solo shot, and eventually, the suspended game was declared. It was established as an official game after the fifth inning, but no rainfall call was made as the away team Samsung scored first and KIA had to be given a chance to attack. After continuing the first game at the top of the sixth inning at 4 p.m. on the 22nd, it became a schedule to play the second game immediately.
The question is whether or not it will be held normally.
Overnight, there was so much rain in Gwangju that it was reminiscent of the rainy season. This rain has not stopped until now.
According to the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) forecast, rain will stop at one point during the day, but more than 2mm per hour will fall from 3 p.m. to early tomorrow morning, when the suspending game is imminent. If it rains as predicted, it will be difficult to play not only the remaining innings of the first game but also the second game.
If the game is postponed in rain, the first game and the second game will be delayed by one day to the 23rd. The entire schedule of the Korean Series will also be delayed by one day, and the third and fourth games will be held at Daegu Lions Park from the 25th to the 26th. If the game is not over within the fourth game, he will play the 5th to 7th games in Gwangju from the 28th to the 30th.
