Outcome reported
- Heavy rain flooded the field and dugouts at Samsung Lions Park about two hours before a scheduled Samsung Lions-KT Wiz game.
- The cancellation meant LG Twins nearly had a chance to field the dream foreign starting trio of Fedde, Boss and Jurado in a three-game series at Jamsil.
A sudden cloudburst nearly produced a dream foreign pitching trio for the LG Twins, but the weather had other plans.
The Samsung Lions and KT Wiz were due to meet at Samsung Lions Park in Daegu on the 30th of last month. About two hours before the scheduled start, intense rain flooded the field and even overflowed into the dugouts.
The game was ultimately called off at 4:35 p.m. Without that cancellation, fans could have seen Fedde, Boss and Jurado form LG’s foreign starting trio during a three-game series at Jamsil. Instead, the downpour became the decisive twist in what might have been a memorable pitching matchup.
