Whatever happens, a doubleheader will take place.
Professional baseball teams KIA Tigers and SSG Landers are scheduled to play a doubleheader at SSG Landers Field in Incheon on the 10th. However, the first game of the doubleheader has been canceled due to rain, and they must play the doubleheader on the 11th.
The KIA-SSG game on the previous day, the 9th, was canceled due to rain, leading to the rescheduling of the doubleheader for the 10th. The KBO will implement doubleheaders if games on Fridays and Saturdays are canceled starting from April 18 this season (no doubleheaders will be scheduled from June 2 to August 31). If a Friday game is canceled, a doubleheader will be scheduled for Saturday, and if a Saturday game is canceled, a doubleheader will be scheduled for Sunday.
However, starting from the morning of the 10th, heavy rain fell at SSG Landers Field. According to the weather forecast, rain is expected until 2 p.m. The field is in a flooded condition. At 11:15 a.m., the cancellation of the first game of the doubleheader due to rain was confirmed. The second game of the doubleheader is scheduled to take place at 5 p.m.
The doubleheader scheduled for the 10th will ultimately be played on the 11th.
SSG has announced Anderson as the starting pitcher for the second game of the doubleheader on the 10th. KIA has announced Oliver as the starting pitcher for the second game.
