As a result, the doubleheader game was confirmed from 2 p.m. on the 17th.
Jamsil Stadium, which had a lot of rain since the morning of this day, had a lot of rain after 1 p.m., and the rain almost stopped after 1:30 p.m. After that, he started preparing for the game by maintaining the stands.
The infield was covered with a tarpaulin, so the batting training was conducted indoors, but LG players prepared for the KT match by playing catch and running in the outfield.
Austin, who played as a designated hitter in all three consecutive games during the week against Kiwoom, briefly trained on defense in the foul area on the third base, receiving a funk from defensive coach Kim Il-kyung.
However, in LG's batting order on the day, Austin was designated as the designated hitter. LG consisted of Park Hae-min (center fielder), Ham Chang-gun (left wing), Austin (designated hitter), Moon Bo-kyung (third baseman), Park Dong-won (captor), Kim Hyun-soo (first baseman), Oh Ji-hwan (striker), Song Chan-ui (right wing) and Koo Bon-hyuk (second baseman).
LG manager Yeom Kyung-yup said "(Moon) was going to go out as first baseman, but he was going to give Sung-joo another day off." Moon Sung-joo rested the previous day due to back pain, and Ham Chang-gun, who started as No. 8 left fielder instead, showed a good batting performance with two hits and an RBI. Coach Yeom put Ham Chang-gun forward in second-left field on the day.
However, after 3:30 p.m., the sky suddenly began to darken. Heavy rain was seen from the right outfield, and heavy rain poured into Jamsil Stadium at 3:45 p.m. LG players, who were training in the outfield, rushed to evacuate.
Then there was thunder and lightning, followed by heavy rain.
The rain continued for more than an hour, and there was no sign of stopping, and the rain continued according to the forecast, and the decision to cancel was finally made at around 4:20 p.m.
The Daejeon SSG-Hanwha match, the Gwangju Doosan-KIA match, and the Busan Samsung-Lotte match were canceled, and the last remaining Ulsan Kiwoom-NC match was canceled, eventually canceling all five KBO League games scheduled for the 16th. On the 17th, two matches will be held in all five places as double headers.
