The rain forecast for Busan has been postponed.
The professional baseball teams, Samsung Lions and Lotte Giants, will face off on the 21st at Sajik Stadium in Busan for the 9th match of the regular season. The starting pitchers are Choi Won-tae from Samsung and Park Se-woong from Lotte.
That day, rainy weather was forecasted for the Busan area. Rain had been falling and stopping from the afternoon before. On the morning of that day, there were also light rain showers. However, the Korea Meteorological Administration's weather forecast has been changing frequently. The rain forecast has been pushed back and is now predicted to have a 60% chance of precipitation starting at 8 p.m.
Currently, the likelihood of the game proceeding as scheduled is high. Although there is strong wind and rain, it is not severe. The stands are damp, but efforts to remove the moisture have begun.
The previous day's game saw Lotte win 3-1. Thanks to the solid pitching of starter Alex Gamboa, who allowed only 1 run over 6 innings, and the determined performance of the winning squad members Jeong Hyeon-su, Jeong Cheol-won, and Kim Won-jung, Lotte secured the victory. Lotte showed a willingness to capture a game they could win, even if it meant exerting extra effort, and they succeeded.
The winning squad's three consecutive appearances could be a decision made in anticipation of heavy rain on the 21st. However, it has not rained.
