It is a merciless spring rain. The first game of the doubleheader in Suwon was canceled due to rain.
The first game of the doubleheader between the 2025 Shinhan SOL Bank Lotte Giants and KT Wiz, which was scheduled to take place at Suwon KT Wiz Park at 2 p.m. on the 10th, was canceled due to rain.
As of 11:10 a.m., heavy rain is pouring down at Suwon KT Wiz Park. While there was no rain forecast for that day when the cancellation occurred the day before, the rain that started falling from early morning has continued throughout the morning.
According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, there is a rain forecast for Jowon-dong in Jangan-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, where the stadium is located, until 2 p.m., which is the scheduled start time. However, as of 11 a.m., heavy rain continued to pour down, making it impossible to start the first game as scheduled. Therefore, it was decided to cancel the game due to rain as of 11:10 a.m.
According to the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO), if at least one game of the doubleheader is canceled due to rain, another doubleheader will be held the next day at the same venue. As a result, a doubleheader has been scheduled for the 11th, with the second game starting at 5 p.m.
The game that day is a matchup between the 3rd place Lotte and the 5th place KT. The ranking difference is only two spots, but the recent momentum of the teams is in stark contrast.
Lotte, who won two consecutive games after a loss to the SSG Landers in the Children’s Day series held at home earlier this week, is on a winning streak, while KT suffered an unexpected sweep loss at home against the low-ranked NC Dinos.
Lotte, on a two-game winning streak, has 22 wins, 1 draw, and 16 losses, ranking 3rd, while KT, on a three-game losing streak, has 18 wins, 2 draws, and 18 losses, ranking 5th. The gap between the two teams is 3 games.
