The canceled game will be played in a doubleheader from 2 p.m. on the 10th.
KBO decided to play a doubleheader on Saturday and Sunday when Friday and Saturday games were canceled in rain except during the hot weather since last year as the remaining games increased due to the cancellation of rain.
This season, the non-organization period of the double header was extended by two weeks for safety management, and the weekend double header was to be implemented from April 18, but it was never implemented yet, and this time the double header was held for the first time.
The KIA Tigers-SSG Landers match, which was scheduled to be held in Incheon, was canceled first, and the first doubleheader was confirmed, followed by the decision to cancel the Suwon game.
Since the doubleheader plays two games a day, all teams are reluctant because it can cause physical problems for the main players and problems in the starting pitcher rotation.
The LG-SSG match in Incheon on April 19 was suspended at the beginning of the fourth inning due to rain, but he also showed his willingness not to double-header the next day until he waited as long as 2 hours and 19 minutes to continue the game.
The game drew attention because it was a match between KT, which lost three consecutive games to NC, and Lotte, which won two consecutive games against SSG. KT remains in fifth place with 18 wins, 2 draws and 18 losses and a 50% win rate. It is a half-game difference from the fourth-ranked Samsung (19 wins, 1 draw and 18 losses), but it is only two games apart from the ninth-ranked Doosan Bears (16 wins, 1 draw and 20 losses).
Lotte is in third place with 22 wins, 1 draw and 16 losses. It is 2.5 games apart from the first-place Hanwha Eagles (24 wins and 13 losses), but it has narrowed the gap to 1.5 games with the second-place LG Twins (23 wins and 14 losses). However, there was a bad news that foreign pitcher Barnes and top hitter Hwang Sung-bin were injured.
KT Ko Young-pyo and Lotte Na Kyun-an were scheduled to face off as domestic pitchers on the same day, but it was canceled due to rain.
It rained all day, and it stopped for a while around 4 p.m., but soon it rained hard again and the cancellation was finally decided.
Lotte, which removed Koo Seung-min from the first team the previous day, registered Han Hyun-hee in the first team on the same day.
