The Korean Baseball Organization LG Twins and Hanwha Eagles will meet on the 29th at Jamsil Stadium for the 8th match of the season.
The game is expected to start at 7 p.m., 30 minutes later than scheduled, due to ground maintenance caused by the sudden shower at Jamsil Stadium that day.
The rain suddenly began to pour around 5:50 p.m. at Jamsil Stadium. Stadium management staff hurried out and laid tarps on the ground. The mound and infield were covered with tarps, and spectators moved indoors to avoid the rain.
Fortunately, the rain did not last long. It stopped around 6:20 p.m., and the groundskeeper began to remove the tarps. An LG official noted, "We decided to start at 7 p.m. despite the delay."
