  • A baseball game between SSG Landers and KIA Tigers is scheduled for August 28th at Gwangju-KIA Champions Field.

The highly anticipated KBO League game between the SSG Landers and KIA Tigers at Gwangju-KIA Champions Field on August 28th faces potential disruption from sudden heavy rainfall.

Adding to the intrigue, KIA's star slugger Kim Do-young is on the cusp of a significant milestone: hitting his 40th home run of the season. He aims to achieve this feat as the youngest player in KBO history to do so. This personal pursuit adds considerable drama to an already important divisional matchup.

Adding to the uncertainty, yesterday's game against the Lotte Giants in Gwangju was postponed due to inclement weather. The current forecast suggests a lull in precipitation starting around 5 PM, raising hopes that the game might proceed and allow fans to witness Kim Do-young's historic attempt.

KIA Tigers currently hold a strong record against the SSG Landers this season, with 8 wins, 3 losses, and 1 draw. This dominance further heightens expectations for the team's performance, provided the weather cooperates.
