Gwangju continued to sell out all fall baseball games, and Game 1 of the Korean Series began belatedly after a grumpy fall rain that forced the team to repeatedly walk under tarpaulins.
However, the two teams could not find a way out.
Even though Samsung put a runner in scoring position, they were pinned down by Nail’s sweeper, and KIA had Kim Sun-bin hit a big hit in the second inning and even celebrated with the base coach, but was blocked by the strong wind and failed to score.
The balance of 0 was broken by a long hit in the top of the 6th inning.
Kim Heon-gon, who boasted a .400 batting average against KIA this season, hit Nail’s sweeper and hit a solo home run over the right wall.
However, the rain that fell throughout the game became a variable.
After the nail was nailed, the rain became heavier and the game was stopped at the top of the 6th inning with no outs at 1st and 2nd base. We waited 45 minutes, but the rain did not subside and the bottom of the 6th inning could not be played, so a suspended game or a pause was eventually declared. .
The coaches of both teams had mixed reactions to the variable that could determine the direction of the series.

“There are some regrets. These days, the weather forecast and the radar clearly predicted rain, but going ahead with it… I hope we proceed with that in mind.”

“Fortunately, it was a better situation for us that we went to Suspended today, and considering the situation, I think it was a slightly better situation that we didn’t get a cold game.”
“Game 1 of the Korean Series, which has the variable of being the first suspended game in postseason history, will resume at 4 PM today.”
