The doubleheader's second game is set to go ahead.
The professional baseball teams KIA Tigers and SSG Landers were scheduled to play a doubleheader on the 10th at Incheon SSG Landers Field. However, due to rain that began falling in the morning, the first game of the doubleheader, scheduled for 2 p.m., was canceled due to weather.
The rain stopped after 1 p.m. The SSG organization began removing the tarp that covered the ground around 2 p.m. and started maintenance work on the field. They removed moisture from the infield dirt, added new soil, and proceeded with the maintenance work. The second game of the doubleheader, scheduled to start at 5 p.m., appears to be proceeding as planned.
The KIA-SSG doubleheader's second game features a matchup between starting pitchers Anderson and Oller.
Anderson has recorded 2 wins and 2 losses with an earned run average of 2.79 in 7 games this season. Last year, he faced KIA in 2 games without a decision, pitching 6 innings and allowing 4 runs. He has not faced KIA this year, making this his first appearance.
Oller, who signed with KIA this year and debuted in the KBO League, has recorded 4 wins and 1 loss with an earned run average of 3.43 in 7 games. He was a winning pitcher when he started against SSG on April 13, allowing 2 runs over 7 innings.
The spring rain that fell in the metropolitan area until midday resulted in all first games of doubleheaders scheduled for Incheon (KIA-SSG), Jamsil (NC-Doosan), and Suwon (Lotte-KT) being canceled due to weather. The canceled first games have all been rescheduled as doubleheaders on the 11th.
In Daegu (LG-Samsung), the doubleheader's first game started normally at 2 p.m. At Gocheok Dome, Hanwha and Kiwoom will play only one game.
