The heavy rain following thunder and lightning turned Daegu Lions Park into a sea of water.
The match between Lotte and Samsung in Daegu was suspended five minutes after the start of the game on the 28th and was eventually canceled. The ground as well as the dugout became a sea of water due to the heavy downpour.
Thunder and lightning struck even before the start of the game, but the game began because it did not rain. After one out of Lotte's attack in the top of the first inning, Ko Seung-min got on base with a hit, No. 3 Reyes entered the batter's box, and strong rain began to pour out at the ball count 0B2S.

The rain grew stronger and stronger. Along with the heavy rain, there was finally a hail the size of a bean. The ground quickly turned into a sea of water, and the dugout was filled with spilled water.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA), the rain is expected to continue beyond 9 p.m. Even if the rain stops, the ground condition has already deteriorated to a level where baseball cannot be played. In the end, the game supervisor canceled the game at 7:11 p.m., 30 minutes after the suspension.
If rain is canceled during the week, the game will be arranged later without a doubleheader.
