Rain postpones Kim Do-young's 40-homer attempt again; Gwangju game canceled

Heavy rain forced the cancellation of the KBO baseball game between the KIA Tigers and SSG Landers on August 28th at Gwangju-KIA Champions Field. The postponement marks the second consecutive day the KIA Tigers have seen their game called off due to inclement weather, following a similar cancellation against the Lotte Giants the previous day.

The decision to cancel the match, which was scheduled as the 13th meeting between the two teams this season, came as the Gwangju region experienced significant rainfall throughout the morning and into the afternoon. While there was a brief respite from the rain later in the day, conditions were deemed unsuitable for play.

Fans hoping to see KIA's slugger Kim Do-young continue his pursuit of 40 home runs will have to wait longer. His milestone attempt has been further delayed by the weather. The postponed game has been rescheduled and is now set to take place on September 11th, offering a new opportunity for the game to be played under clearer skies.
