A baseball game at Sajik Stadium descended into chaos on Tuesday as heavy rain twice interrupted play, leading to a premature end. The LG Twins ultimately secured a 8-3 victory over the Lotte Giants in a 7-inning rain-shortened contest. The disruptions significantly impacted the flow of the game, testing the patience of players and spectators alike.
The first major delay occurred in the bottom of the seventh inning when rain began to fall heavily. Play was halted for 51 minutes, from 8:44 PM to 9:35 PM, as groundskeepers worked to make the field playable. Despite the efforts, the weather conditions remained challenging, leading to further uncertainty about the game's continuation.
Following the extensive delay and subsequent ground maintenance, the game was eventually restarted. However, the conditions appeared to be on the verge of becoming unplayable again, adding to the chaotic atmosphere. The decision to resume play, only for it to be cut short, left many questioning the timing and management of the situation at the stadium.
