A scheduled Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) game between the Fubon Guardians and Wei Chuan Dragons in Xinzhuang has been postponed due to a sudden downpour. The match, originally slated to begin at 5:05 PM, was delayed as heavy rain began just half an hour before the scheduled start time. The actual commencement of the game is now contingent on the rain subsiding.
This particular game had already experienced a delay, having been initially scheduled for June 9th. It was rescheduled for June 25th, but was declared a suspended game due to thunderstorms after five innings with the score tied at 0-0. If the game resumes, play will continue from the current situation with one out in the top of the ninth inning, with Wei Chuan Dragons' Tseng Sheng-an at bat with a 1-1 count.
The Fubon Guardians were looking to achieve a significant milestone in this game. They had secured their 32nd win of the half-season the previous day, equalling their record from the second half of the 2019 season. A victory in this rescheduled match would have marked their 33rd win, setting a new club record for the most wins in a half-season since Fubon took over the team.
