The first suspended game ever came out in the first game of the Korean Series in professional baseball, where the KIA Tigers and the Samsung Lions faced each other for the first time in 31 years.

Game 1 of the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO Korean Series (KS, best out of seven) held at Kia Champions Field in Gwangju on the 21st was suspended due to heavy rain during the first and second base attack with no outs in the top of the sixth inning when Samsung led 1-0.먹튀검증

The umpires waited for about 40 minutes, but when the rain stopped, they declared a suspended game.

It is the first time that a suspended game has been declared in a postseason game since the launch of professional baseball.

The suspended game will resume at 4 p.m. on the 22nd with Samsung's offense in the top of the sixth inning.

Game 2 of the Korean Series starts an hour after the first game.

Samsung is excited about Kim Heon-gon's solo shot
In the first game, which started 66 minutes late due to rain before the game, KIA's foreign first starter James Nail and Samsung's native ace Won Tae-in started and played a tight pitching match until the middle.

Nail, who started 58 days after the jaw joint surgery, walked Kim Ji-chan, the first batter, with a straight walk in the first inning, and two outs later, Kang Min-ho doubled to the second and third bases, but struck out two and kept him scoreless.

After two outs in the bottom of the second inning, Kim Sun-bin hit a triple to the left, but he also handled the follow-up hitter Choi Won-joon with a fly ball to left field without a run.

Samsung also missed the opportunity to hit third base with one out in the top of the third inning, and KIA failed to hit second base with one out in the bottom of the third inning.

KIA also drew two walks in the bottom of the fourth inning to make the first and second bases with two outs, but failed to draw a score.

The tense 0 procession broke at the beginning of the sixth inning.

Kim Hun-gon, the leadoff hitter of Samsung, hit a thrilling solo home run that slightly went inside the right pole by pushing Nail's fifth slider with two balls and two strikes.

Kim Hun-gon, who hit two home runs in the playoffs with LG, also scored the first run with a solo arch in the Korean Series.

Game 1 of the Korean Series, Suspended for the first time ever

Nail, who had an unexpected home run, was replaced by Jang Hyun-sik after even the follow-up hitter Lewin Diaz walked.

However, Jang Hyun-sik also failed to catch control in the rain, so he walked Kang Min-ho to get on base, causing him to hit first and second bases with no outs.

With Samsung taking the opportunity to score additional points, referee Park Jong-chul finally declared the suspension of the game as the rain became thicker.

The judges waited about 40 minutes, but when the rain showed no signs of stopping, they finally declared suspended.

The first suspended game in the postseason has only appeared 11 times in 43 years in the regular season.

On this day, Samsung starter Won Tae-in secured the requirements for a winning pitcher by allowing two hits and two walks in five innings.

KIA Nail also pitched well in five innings with four hits and one run, but was on the verge of losing the game due to lack of help from the batters.
