After NC's attack in the bottom of the fifth inning, the game was suspended due to a thick rain. A tarpaulin was laid near the mound and home plate, and after that, an ultra-large tarpaulin covering the entire infield was spread out. The game was suspended as of 8:25 p.m. Since NC's attack in the bottom of the fifth inning was over, cold game requirements had already been established.
Even after the super-large tarpaulin, the rain did not stop. The heavy rain poured down continuously. Rain continued until almost 9 p.m., more than 30 minutes after the game was suspended, and the rain cold game was finally declared. NC was lucky, and KIA swallowed the disappointment and promised the next game.
The two teams will play the second of three consecutive weekend games at NC Park from 5 p.m. on the 14th.
