KBO canceled NC's Kiwoom match and Doosan's LG match for three days in a row with confirmed players.
This is because, as a result of the epidemiological investigation of the two teams, most of the first-team players except for those who have been vaccinated were classified as close contacts, making it difficult to play normally.
If the match had been held, it was a situation where it had to be played mainly by players from the second team.
Lameness followed in other matches as well.
Just before the game, the KIA player and the Daegu referee were informed that they were both close contacts of a Doosan confirmed player, and the game started was delayed as they were replaced in a hurry.
As the crisis continues, the KBO will hold a meeting of the presidents tomorrow (12th) to decide whether to suspend the season.
In the Daegu game, which started after twists and turns, Samsung center fielder Park Hae-min played an amazing defense for two days in a row.
After stepping on the fence yesterday and catching Lotte Lee Dae-ho's long batting ball, today, he caught Lee Dae-ho's hit again with two fantastic diving catches.
Samsung defeated Lotte, who made a defensive mistake, and ran for two consecutive wins.
KIA is aiming for a 6-game winning streak, leading KT with a diving catch from right fielder Won-jun Choi and a two-run home run from Hyung-woo Choi.
