The game scheduled to be held at Jamsil Baseball Stadium was canceled due to heavy spring rain. It is somewhat regrettable that the decision to cancel is reversed again with the spectator's entrance.
KIA Tigers and LG Twins were scheduled to face off in Game 2 of the season at Jamsil Stadium in Seoul from 2 p.m. on the 5th. However, the game was decided by the rain. It was a weather that had no choice but to predict a rainy weather early on. The Seoul area has had a lot of rain since the early morning of the 5th, and the declaration of a postponement of the game was announced after 1 p.m. At Jamsil Baseball Stadium, a large tarpaulin covered the entire infield ground, but a large water hole was made. I couldn't proceed with the game normally. The game that was postponed on this day will be reorganized later. The two teams will play on the last day of the three consecutive weekend games at Jamsil Stadium from 2 p.m. on the 6th.

It's a shame in terms of box office because the game is expected to be full. On the 4th, the KIA-LG match sold out with 23,750 seats sold out to the on-site sales, and LG was trying to record a sold-out record for six consecutive home games since the opening. The crowd mobilization power of Seoul's most popular team LG and the box office power of KIA, an away team with many fans in the metropolitan area, were expected to sell out as soon as the tickets were opened.
Initially, the Seoul area had a rain forecast until the afternoon. However, as game supervisor Park Jong-hoon showed his will to push ahead with the game, he carefully looked at the weather situation with the ground maintenance and the start of the game in mind. In the meantime, the rain didn't stop. There was also a forecast that the rain would stop around 12 p.m., but the rain did not stop completely. The rain had subsided a little.
It was raining continuously, but it was not canceled, so the audience could not be delayed further. At 1 p.m., spectators eventually began, and some spectators entered the stadium. But the rain continued to fall. It was difficult to proceed with the game normally, and the decision to cancel was made around 1:10 p.m. Eventually, spectators had to enter the ballpark and then go back home.
Deferred matches are not organized into double headers. KBO has decided to extend the non-organization period of the doubleheader until April 13 to focus on strengthening safety management when crowds are concentrated. KBO and 10 clubs decided to take time to carefully review and prepare measures that need to be supplemented when performing a doubleheader as the need to strengthen management is raised in weekend games where spectators are expected to be concentrated.

Therefore, from April 18th, if the Friday and Saturday games are canceled, double headers will be implemented (unorganized from June 2nd to August 31st). If the game is canceled on Friday, a doubleheader will be organized on Saturday and if the game is canceled on Saturday, a doubleheader will be organized on Sunday, and only once a week will be available. If Saturday's doubleheader is played for only one game, the doubleheader will be reorganized on Sunday. In addition, if the game is canceled on May 2 and 3 during the nine consecutive games scheduled on Monday for the Children's Day game, a double header will not be organized the next day.
Meanwhile, in the game on the 4th, which was the first showdown of the season between KIA and LG, LG won a great victory with an 8-2 victory.

LG, which broke down the KIA mound, won its first game of the season and recorded an overwhelming 9 wins, 1 loss, and a 90% winning rate since the opening.
