The first suspended game of the postseason came out. Game 1 of the Korean Series between the Samsung Lions and the KIA Tigers of the professional baseball league at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on the 21st. There was a rain forecast in the Gwangju area that day. Just before the game began, heavy rain poured down and eventually a large tarpaulin appeared.
When the rain subsided, he removed the tarpaulin to prepare for the ceremony and the game, but it rained again and the stadium management team had to lay the tarpaulin again. Due to the inclement weather, he laid the tarpaulin and walked repeatedly, and the game began only at 7:36 p.m.
Samsung's Won Tae-in and Kia's James Nail, who were in charge of starting the first game of the Korean Series, displayed a high-end pitching competition, continuing a tight race of 0-0 until the fifth inning. Samsung was the first to break the balance. Kim Heon-gon, the first batter at the top of the sixth inning, pushed the sweeper on the fifth pitch with Nail and the ball count of 2B-2S to put it on the right outfield stand. Soon after, Lewin Diaz drew a walk against Nail.
The KIA bench handed over the mound to Jang Hyun-sik instead of Nail. Jang allowed a walk to the first batter Kang Min-ho, making it to the first and second bases with no outs. With Samsung having a chance to run away, the umpires declared the suspension of the game as rain thickened. After waiting for 45 minutes, the team finally declared suspended for the first time in the postseason. This game will resume at 4 p.m. on Saturday when Samsung's offense starts at the top of the sixth inning.
Samsung did more harm than good. Starting pitcher Won Tae-in kept the mound until the fifth inning, effectively blocking the opponent team's batters by allowing no run. With only 66 pitches, the team displayed complete pitching capability. However, rain made it impossible for him to take the mound the next day. There is no guarantee that chances for runners on the first and second bases with no outs will also lead to points.
Manager Park Jin-man, who seemed to have wasted no time, raised his voice as if determined. "It's embarrassing because there are situations where people don't come out well even during the season. I was worried that I might get cut off in the middle after using the starting pitcher even before the game began. I'm very sorry that this situation happened when starting pitcher Won Tae-in was pitching well," he said.
"It's too bad it was cut off at a time when the flow was brought. At the moment, it's hard to rewrite Won Tae-in. We'll put in all the must-win teams to win at a time when we're leading," he added.
Coach Park Jin-man also pointed out, "I thought it was better not to play. There was already a forecast and it was raining back and forth."
If Samsung does not want a result after the game resumes, it could adversely affect the entire series. This is why head coach Park Jin-man pointed out his regret about the game management.
