Professional baseball will be held only in Busan on the 20th. Due to the influence of the rainy season across the country, the four stadium games were canceled.

However, the only game to be held is the first game to challenge the KBO League's milestone. The Lotte Giants and the Samsung Lions will face each other in the classic season.

Lotte set a new record for 22 consecutive home games in Busan, starting with the Hanwha Eagles match on April 24 and the previous day. Sajik-gu's stands include Avenue El, infield table, cheering, and outfield seats behind the catcher at 22,669. All seats are sold out every game.




If all three consecutive games between Lotte and Samsung in Busan are sold out this weekend, it will be the 25th consecutive game. He will make a new history in professional baseball beyond Hanwha's previous record of 24 games.

However, the weather in Busan is a variable on this day. It rained across the country, and four other stadiums were canceled early around 3:48 p.m.

There is only one place left in Busan. It rained all morning, but it died down into the afternoon.

But it didn't stop completely. The sky of Sajik Stadium was covered with thick dark clouds all day, and raindrops flew slightly until just before the fall season. It hasn't turned into rain.

When the game is held normally, the variable is whether it is sold out. Busan baseball fans, who have already heard about the continuation of the game, have filled most of the cheering and table seats on the first base side. However, there are empty spots on the third base and in the outfield.

In addition, Sajik Stadium also has on-site sales (220 seats) for the digital underprivileged. It is a ticket that can only be purchased by the elderly by checking ID cards.




This is why most of them were announced during the proceedings, not before the start of the game. Until now, we've been selling out so easilyIt was not a big problem, but if the visit of the elderly is delayed due to repeated rain on the day, the sell-out procession of consecutive games may be cut off in vain.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, rain is forecast until 10 p.m., but there is not much precipitation, so there is no problem in the progress of the game.

Lotte will play in the lineup of Kim Dong-hyuk (center fielder), Ko Seung-min (first base), Reyes (right wing), Jeon Joon-woo (left wing), Jung Hoon (designated hitter), Kim Min-sung (third base), Han Tae-sun (second base), Information-geun (catcher) and Jeon Min-jae (striker). The first choice is Gamboa.

On this day, Samsung will face Park Seung-gyu (right wing), Kim Sung-yoon (center fielder), Koo Ja-wook (left wing), Diaz (first base), Kang Min-ho (catcher), Jeon Byung-woo (third base), Park Byung-ho (designated hitter), Ryu Ji-hyuk (second base), and Yang Woo-hyun (striker).
