All five games in the first series of the second half of the 2025 KBO League were canceled on the 17th. The rainy season covered the whole country. Landersfield, which is famous for getting rid of even the rainy clouds, was no exception this day.
Doosan Bears and SSG Landers were scheduled to clash at SSG Landers Field in Incheon from 6:30 p.m. on the 17th.
At the same time, Jamsil Lotte-LG, Suwon Hanwha-KT, Gwangju NC-KIA, and Daegu Kiwoom-Samsung were organized.
It rained all over the Korean Peninsula from the morning. However, as Incheon passed lunch, raindrops became less frequent.
Daegu and Gwangju games were canceled by rain early after 3:30 p.m.
Incheon was likely to start the game as the rain stopped amid dark clouds. Landersfield has begun ground maintenance work.
In particular, the mound soil selection work, which greatly affects pitchers, continued for a long time.
SSG Landers coach Lee Sung-yong expressed concern, saying, `Once we get into the game, we'll have to do it up to the fifth inning.'
Cho Sung-hwan, acting manager of the Doosan Bears, also worried, `I think I've been undergoing maintenance for two hours, but I don't know if I can play.'
Things changed after 5 p.m. The rain began to fall and the rain thickened. The forecast for rain in Incheon, which was late at night, was also pushed to 6 p.m. The same metropolitan area, Jamsil, was also canceled.
The Landersfield infield was quickly flooded. KBO made a decision without waiting any longer. At 5:26 p.m., Incheon and Gyeonggi Province will also be organized later. In the end, Suwon Gyeonggi Province was also postponed due to ground conditions.
Doosan and SSG did not change their starting pitchers on the 18th. Doosan will have Colerbin and SSG will have White as they are.
