Baseball fans are anxiously watching the skies as rain threatens to disrupt a crucial matchup between the Samsung Lions and KT Wiz, a game widely considered a preview of the upcoming Korean Series.

The Daegu Samsung Lions Park, home to the Lions, was experiencing rain as of late morning. The infield was covered with tarpaulins, and preparations were made around the mound and home plate to protect the grounds from the downpour.

This is not the first time weather has interfered with this pivotal series. The teams are separated by only half a game in the standings, making each contest significant in the race for the top spot. The forecast for the afternoon also indicates continued rain, leaving players and fans uncertain if the game will be played.

The situation is particularly frustrating for those eager to see the two top teams battle, especially given the potential implications for playoff seeding.
