KBO postseason game postponed due to rain
By Yoo Jee-ho
SEOUL, Nov. 1 (Yonhap) -- The first game of the 2020 South Korean baseball postseason was postponed on Sunday due to rain.
The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) Wild Card round between the LG Twins and the Kiwoom Heroes will instead be played on Monday at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul. The first pitch will be at 6:30 p.m.
As the No. 4 seed, the Twins only need a tie or a win in the first meeting to advance to the next round. The Heroes, the No. 5 seed, must win two straight games to move on to the next stage.
If the Twins knock off the Heroes on Monday, the first round of the postseason will begin as scheduled on Wednesday.
However, if the Heroes win Monday and force another Wild Card game on Tuesday, then the start of every remaining series will be pushed back by one day.
The Twins were scheduled to start right-hander Casey Kelly on Sunday, with the Heroes countering with right-hander Jake Brigham. The game was scheduled to begin at 2 p.m., and the league officials waited out for more than an hour before deciding to postpone the game.
The Doosan Bears, who finished third in the regular season, are awaiting the Wild Card winner in the next round, which is a best-of-three series.
