The professional baseball game between the SSG Landers and the Lotte Giants was suspended due to rain and then quickly resumed.

SSG and Lotte faced each other in the 11th match of the '2025 Shinhan Bank SOL Bank KBO League' held at Incheon SSG Landers Field on the 15th.

Recently in a three-game losing streak, SSG formed a starting lineup with Choi Ji-hoon (center fielder) - Jeong Jun-jae (second baseman) - Guillermo Heredia (left fielder) - Han Yoo-seom (designated hitter) - Ko Myung-jun (first baseman) - Park Sung-han (shortstop) - Jo Hyung-woo (catcher) - Kim Seong-wook (right fielder) - Seok Jeong-woo (third baseman). The starting pitcher is Drew Anderson.

Lotte, on a three-game winning streak, started with Kim Dong-hyeok (center fielder) - Go Seung-min (first baseman) - Víctor Reyes (right fielder) - Jeon Jun-woo (left fielder) - Kim Min-sung (third baseman) - Jeon Min-jae (shortstop) - Son Ho-young (second baseman) - Jung Hoon (designated hitter) - Jeung Bo-keun (catcher). The starting pitcher is Lee Min-seok.

On that day, rain was forecasted to begin in Incheon from nightfall. There were expectations that the game would proceed without any issues. However, contrary to the forecast, light rain started falling intermittently before the game began. Nevertheless, the game started normally and continued until the top of the third inning. Suddenly, heavy rain began pouring, and the baseball field became chaotic. Since it was time for a pitching change, the umpires sent all the Lotte players coming onto the field for defense back to the dugout and declared a rain delay.

The ground management team immediately began laying waterproof tarps on the field. However, before the tarps were completely laid out, the rain stopped. The umpires declared the game resumed after about 2 minutes. After a simple maintenance task of sprinkling new dirt on the wet mound, the game resumed. The time taken for the game to be suspended due to rain and then resumed after maintenance was only about 7 minutes.

The game remained tense and scoreless at 0-0 until the bottom of the third inning, with both teams' starting pitchers performing well.
