Raindrops have been falling steadily since the morning. After 3 p.m., heavy rain began to fall.

A match between the NC Dinos and SSG Landers is scheduled at Changwon NC Park on the 9th.

But the weather is a variable. It is expected that the game will be difficult to proceed due to the pouring rain. The ground is soaking wet with rain that the feet fall 2~3cm.

The NC club prepared for rain by placing a huge tarpaulin covering the entire infield, but the infield foul area and the outfield warning track are already full of water enough to see the fence intact. The rainstorm has repeatedly become a heavy rain enough to make a loud sound of 'swah' and then subsided again, but it has continued to fall steadily. Rainwater accumulated on the tarpaulin is full of constant ripples.

A situation full of rainwater, as if there was a flood on the entire ground. The game supervisor and the stadium management team are constantly checking their conditions, but it is expected that the game will be difficult to play. It is a lot of precipitation for the ground, which has been in the midst of a long journey season and has suffered from several heavy rains, to survive.

The home team NC players sometimes came out to warm up in the outfield, but as the rain turned into heavy rain, everyone went indoors. The outfield is full of rat-dead silence.

The Korea Meteorological Administration predicts that it will rain all day. The temperature in Changwon is not too hot at 21.9 degrees Celsius, but it is full of sticky moisture in the air as heavy rain falls. The probability of precipitation in the whole afternoon is 80%.

The matchups for starting pitchers on the day are SSG Anderson and NC Shin Min-hyuk. SSG is overwhelming in weight. In addition to the recent five-game winning streak, SSG is expected to be much more disappointing if the game is canceled.

Anderson, who is in his second year in Korea, is the best pitcher representing the KBO League this year along with Hanwha Eagles Ponce, Samsung Lions Furado, and KIA Tigers Nail. He has played 149 ⅓ innings in 26 games with a powerful fastball in the middle of 150km, recording 10-6 losses and a 2.11 ERA. There is some regret over the inning, but the powerful SSG's bullpen is behind it.

Seung-woon has not followed for a while, but he has added four wins in the last five games. Against NC, he is a natural enemy with a 0 ERA in all three wins this season. The atmosphere of SSG, which has recently won five consecutive games, is also unusual.

Shin Min-hyuk played the role of NC's native ace this season, but exposed the jagged ups and downs, making Koo Chang-mo's gap feel even greater. This season, he has only 115 innings in 24 games, 5 wins, 3 losses, and an ERA of 5.17.
