The rain is getting thicker as time goes by. It is unclear whether the LG Twins and the Samsung Lions will hold the game in Game 4 of the playoffs, which is scheduled to be held at Jamsil Stadium on the 18th.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, strong rain of 5-10 millimeters per hour continues until 9 p.m. in Seoul. The second round of the last playoff, which was held in Daegu, was also delayed due to rain and was held the next day.

If the fourth playoff game, which will be held on the same day, is postponed due to rain, LG and Samsung will play on the 19th.

Meanwhile, LG, which was on the brink of losing two games in the series, led the team to victory in Game 3 of the playoffs held the previous day, with starters Lim Chan-kyu (5.1 innings) and Hernandez (3.2 innings) pitching scoreless.

In a broadcast interview after the game, Samsung manager Park Jin-man predicted Reyes and LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop predicted Ence as the starting pitcher for Game 4 of the playoffs. When asked by reporters about the operation of the mound if the game is postponed by a day due to rain, both coaches said they would go with Reyes and Ence.

Hernandez

If the game is postponed due to rain in autumn, it will be a welcome rain for LG. This is because he will be able to take a rest to Hernandez (60 pitches), who was in charge of the game until the end with perfect pitching, after checking his physical condition, and then putting in Game 4 after taking the mound the previous day.

LG fans even gave a nickname 'El Dong-won' to foreign pitcher Hernandez, who is devoted to the team with the start of autumn baseball. While playing until Game 5 of the semi-playoff against KT, Hernandez pitched in all five games and recorded a 0 ERA with two saves and one hold in 7.1 innings.

The score in Game 3 of the playoffs was 1-0. It is up to the sky whether he will be able to see Hernandez's good pitching in Game 4, who was responsible for the game until the end, on the mound at a thin ice moment when he could give up the lead with a single long shot.
