When I cleared a large tarpaulin, it was a surprise downpour and the ground was flooded. Can the Suwon LGKT match be held?

Suwon KT Wiz Park became a sea of water on the 17th when the LG Twins-KT Wiz match is scheduled to be held. There is a possibility that the game will start because it is early, but the soil has already accumulated a lot of water, so it may not be easy to play if it continues to rain.
There was heavy rain in the morning, but there was no big problem because it was equipped with a large tarpaulin. The rain stopped during the day, and KT walked a large tarpaulin at around 2 p.m. and prepared for training. There was no rain forecast in the afternoon, so we prepared normally. The ground had a hitting cage and a mobile net without a tarpaulin.
But it suddenly started to rain around 2:30 p.m. It soon turned into a downpour, and the ground quickly accumulated water. The ground management team came out late, but it was too late to cover a large tarpaulin.
Only the mound and groove were covered with tarps and waited for the rain to stop. The rain became more frequent for a while, but soon another heavy rain poured down, and the soil part of the ground became a complete sea of water.
The amount of rain has decreased, but it continues to fall. Even at 3:30 p.m., the rain is small, but it continues to fall, giving the ground no time to dry up.
As the game was suspended for as long as 1 hour and 47 minutes due to rain the previous day, the game ended only at 11:42 p.m., and LG won 10-6 after the batting match as the starter went down early due to rain.
This day is a foreign starting match between KT Patrick Murphy and LG Yoni Chirinos.
Patrick is 2-2 with a 3.07 ERA with two holds in 10 games. He appeared as a bullpen pitcher in Jamsil LG on the 11th and led the team to victory by allowing no hits, one walk, two strikeouts and no runs in the first ⅔ innings. Patrick, who has been a bullpen pitcher for two consecutive games, will come back as a starter after the match against KIA on August 29.
Chirinos is 12-4 with a 3.30 ERA in 27 games. In the game against KT, he is good with 2 wins and 1 loss with a 1.96 ERA in four games. He allowed five hits, no four outs, two strikeouts, and three runs (two earned runs) in six innings at Jamsil Stadium on the 11th. At that time, Chirinos, who pitched well without allowing a run until the sixth inning, also reached the top of the seventh inning and was replaced after a crisis with two hits and an error.
Due to the unexpected sudden downpour, we have to look at the sky to see if the game can be held. If the match cannot be held on this day, it will be held as a doubleheader on the 18th.
