Samsung Lions manager Park Jin-man expressed deep regret over the game.

Game 1 of the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO postseason Korean Series, which took place at Gwangju Kia Champions Field on Monday, has become a suspended game. It will resume one day later.메이저사이트

Samsung starter Won Tae-in pitched five innings with two hits, two walks and three strikeouts.

In the lineup, Kim Hun-gon hit a solo home run.

In fact, it was not easy to proceed because it rained even before the game. It rained suddenly with about an hour left before the start of the game. There was a rain forecast, but it was pushed back to 9 p.m. So it rained on the car that was preparing for the game normally.

Large tarps were installed and walking was repeated. The first game of the Korean Series began at 7:36 p.m., when an hour and six minutes were delayed after repeating three times.

The game was held with the rain continuing to fall. Nails and Won Tae-in's good pitching were played in the rain.

The tense atmosphere was broken by a single homer. The hero was "KIA's natural enemy." Kim Heon-gon was the leadoff man in the top of the sixth inning when the score was 0-0. Kim hit a solo home run over the right fence by kicking a 134-km sweeper off the fifth pitch by KIA starter Nail. It was his third arch in the fall baseball league. He had hit multiple home runs in the first playoff game.

Diaz and Kang Min-ho then drew walks to create the first and second bases with no outs. Next up is Kim Young-woong. When the raindrops got thicker after Chang Hyun-sik threw the first pitch, the umpires declared a halt. The game, which was suspended at 9:24 p.m., never took place. Suspended game was declared at 10:09 p.m.

Of course, Samsung has left much to be desired. This is because Won Tae-in was used up. Won only threw 66 pitches. People could have expected up to the seventh and eighth innings at the most, but as the game was postponed, Won Tae-in's credit card became unavailable. This was a situation that coach Park Jin-man had been concerned about since the opening of the playoffs.

After the suspension was declared, coach Park Jin-man said, "It is embarrassing because there is a situation that occurs during the season. This happened during the season as well. I was worried from the beginning because the information is better than before. I was worried about the case of using the starting pitcher and getting cut off in the middle, but I feel sorry about that. Won Tae-in was pitching well, and the number of pitches was also a lot to be desired."

He claimed that he should not have played from the start. "There was a rain forecast. It was a situation where players kept going back and forth. In the midst of this situation, it is not easy to adjust the conditions of the players. It is hard for pitchers to match more. I thought that normal performance would not be achieved," Park said in an interview.

It is all the more regrettable because the flow was not consistent with Samsung. "It is regrettable that the flow was cut off in the situation that we are bringing," Park said. "Won Tae-in will not be able to use it tomorrow. As we are leading the game, we will prepare to win the first round by putting in all the winning teams."

The situation has become similar to that of a doubleheader. "It is practically a doubleheader. A player's presence on the field itself is like playing a game. (Short-term matches) are physically and physically challenging due to the wide difference from the season. I feel sorry for the players as I have to play a close doubleheader," Park said.

Moreover, it is unclear whether the team will be able to host the event on Wednesday. It is expected to rain all day long. Coach Park stressed, "I think it is best not to rain. I have always said that. I think it is best not to do it to protect the players."

The starting pitcher for the second round will likely be determined after the first round is over. "I'm considering between left-handers Lee Seung-hyun and Hwang Dong-jae, but the player who won't join will start the second round," Park said.
