The two teams were scheduled to play the first game of a four-game series in the second half at Suwon KT Wiz Park on the 17th. A big match between Hanwha, which ranked first in the first half of the year in 33 years, and KT, which seeks to take a leap forward by recruiting new foreign pitcher Patrick.
However, the early rain forecast made it unclear whether the game would be held or not. It rained heavily in Suwon and other metropolitan areas from the previous day.
Until the morning, there was a rain forecast even before the game began. But the forecast disappeared in the afternoon. The Korea Meteorological Administration cannot predict as rain clouds continue to appear and disappear locally. Originally, there was a forecast that 30m heavy rain would fall at 7 p.m. in the Suwon area, but the forecast completely disappeared 30 minutes later.
There was no rain at KT Wiz Park around 4 p.m. However, the ground situation was not good. Neither team's players trained properly.
Meanwhile, thick rain poured down around 5:20 p.m. I quickly covered the tarpaulin. The forecast of heavy rain throughout the evening is fluctuating. Although the rain decreased, Suwon was also finally canceled at 5:26 p.m.
Prior to Suwon, there was a series of news of cancellations of Gwangju (KIA-NC), Daegu (Samsung-Kium), Jamsil (LG-Lotte), and Incheon (SSG-Doosan). The southern part of the country was canceled early due to heavy rain, and the stadiums in the metropolitan area could not hold out due to the continued rain.
