It is raining all day at KT Wiz Park in Suwon on the 9th, when the Lotte Giants-KT Wiz match is scheduled. It is unclear whether the game will be held or not as the rain has been thinning and then increasing again.
If the game is canceled on this day, the game will be held as a doubleheader on the 10th. The first game will be held at 2 p.m. and the second game will be held 30 minutes later.
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, it was decided to extend the non-organization period of doubleheader by two weeks for safety management and implement a weekend doubleheader from April 18, but it has never been implemented yet.
The doubleheader is reluctant to all teams because it can cause physical problems for players and problems in the rotation of starting pitchers.
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.
It is an interesting match between KT, which lost three consecutive games to NC, and Lotte, which came up with two consecutive wins 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).

On this day, KT Ko Young-pyo and Lotte Na Kyun-an will face off as domestic pitchers.
Ko Young-pyo has been 2-2 with a 2.22 ERA in seven games this season. In the game against the Kiwoom Heroes on April 20, he also had a shutout victory with three hits and no runs in nine innings. However, in the previous game against Kiwoom on the 2nd, he had 16 hits in six innings and lost five runs (three earned runs). On March 30, he had seven hits (one home run) and two runs in six innings against Lotte.
This is Na Kyun-an's 8th first win. He lost only one game without winning in seven games and has a 3.00 ERA. He pitched the best against the NC Dinos on the 2nd, the previous day. At that time, he had three hits, two walks, and four strikeouts in six ⅓ innings. At that time, he led 2-0 and was on the verge of his first win, but Na Kyun-an's victory was blown away as he lost three points in the top of the eighth inning. Fortunately, Lotte won 4-3 by scoring two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning.
