The two teams were scheduled to play at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 6th. The starters are SSG Kim Kwang-hyun and Lotte Lee Min-seok. It was an important game to face off in a situation where SSG beat Lotte the previous day, winning four consecutive SSG and losing three consecutive Lotte games.
Initially, the area of Munhak-dong, Incheon, where the stadium is located, was forecast to rain from the morning. However, the forecast changed from time to time as local clouds were formed and disappeared repeatedly. It was very humid in sunny skies even around 3 p.m., two hours before the start of the game.
But from the west a huge cloud of rain was approaching. And around 4:20 p.m., 40 minutes before the start of the game, clouds struck the stadium. With heavy downpours and strong winds, the stadium truly became 'Abi Kyu-hwan'. There was a level of rain and wind that the umbrella couldn't hold up.
Eventually, Park Jong-hoon, the head coach of the game, decided to cancel the game with about 25 minutes left. The home team SSG prepared for the game by installing a large tarpaulin in the infield before it rained, but it became impossible to play due to the enormous rain and wind that the tarpaulin was meaningless. At the time of the cancellation, the rain decreased a little, but the ground was already devastated, and there were continuous forecasts.
The two teams' games, which were canceled that day, were scheduled for a preliminary date on the 29th. It is automatically transferred to that day.
Lotte has no game on the 7th. SSG will move to Jamsil and face the LG Twins. Kim Kwang-hyun remains the same as the starting pitcher at SSG.
