The showdown for the joint lead between the Samsung Lions and the KT Wiz was halted by rain.
The season matchup between Samsung and KT, which was scheduled to be held at Pohang Stadium on the 20th, was canceled due to rain. The game canceled that day will be rescheduled later.
Heavy rain poured in the Pohang area from the morning that day. The Samsung club had installed large tarps on the field after the previous day's game to prepare for the rain, but it was not enough to stop the continued downpour.
Puddles formed throughout the outfield, and the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO), judging that it would be difficult to proceed with the game, ultimately decided to cancel it due to rain.
Samsung crushed KT 10-2 the previous day to rise to a tie for the lead. Starter Won Tae-in earned his second win of the season with six innings and one run allowed, and the lineup racked up 20 hits in total.
That day Samsung had announced 'super rookie' Jang Chan-hee as the starting pitcher, and KT had announced left-hander Oh Won-seok as its starter.
