"It's true that I memorized (cancellation of rain) like a spell..."I'm not happy with it again."

Kiwoom Heroes will use Gocheok Sky Dome as their home stadium for the only domed stadium in Korea. Therefore, there is relatively little experience in canceling rain or doubleheader compared to other teams.

Every year, the regular season is the first to end, and games are often played in a separate manner according to other teams' schedules.




All professional baseball games scheduled to be held at five stadiums nationwide on the 16th have been canceled. Double headers will be held in all five stadiums on the 17th. It is Kiwoom's first doubleheader this season.

Kiwoom manager Hong Won-ki said, `It's the first rain cancellation of this year. Don't you think our team has a lot of solo concerts. It is true that tomorrow's doubleheader is burdensome. Still, taking a day off will help the players control their condition."

As a starter the next day, NC went to Logan and Kiwoom went to Kim Sun-ki. NC changed Logan from Choi Sung-young, while Kiwoom pushes on as it is.




Coach Hong Won-ki said, `I came to Ulsan at the end of October last year because of the Futures schedule, and it is the first time since 2019. I feel new."

"If Ulsan solves the problem (the ground is too hot) during the hot weather, there will be many baseball fans, many sports enthusiasts, and (NC home games) will be a good opportunity." The position is so good, so as long as you don't get injured, you just have to look back."

"The most worrisome thing about doubleheader is prevention of injury. If our starter is a strong pitcher, we will have a game plan to some extent, but I hope Kim Sun-ki will go for a long inning. In addition, some players sometimes take the mound in two games a day. It's true that it's burdensome."

In fact, training in the rain and cancellation of rain are unfamiliar experiences for Kiwoom, just like doubleheaders. Coach Hong Won-ki said "As you know, due to the nature of Gocheok Dome, I'm used to moving at the same time and schedule. He did not hide his complicated feelings, saying, "Maybe the players will not be familiar with it."
