The last game of the three consecutive games during the week between the Samsung Lions and the KIA Tigers was canceled due to rain.

The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) announced on the 9th that the third game of the 2026 Shinhan SOL KBO League between Samsung and KIA, which was scheduled to be held at Gwangju-KIA Champions Field, was canceled due to rain.

On this day, thick rain poured down from dawn in Gwangju. The rain continued until the afternoon, creating water holes throughout the ground, and the Korea Meteorological Administration forecast predicted rainfall until late night on the 9th. KBO game management committee member Han Yong-deok, who inspected the site, decided to cancel the final rain at 3:33 p.m., judging that it was difficult to proceed normally.

As a result, the two teams will end this week's three consecutive games with one win and one loss.

On the 7th, the first day, Samsung laughed. Choi Hyung-woo, who visited Gwangju for the first time since moving to Samsung, led the team to a 10-3 complete victory with four RBIs, including a home run.

KIA succeeded in avenging the next day. In the game on the 8th, KIA's batting lineup showed tremendous firepower of hitting all of the first starters of the season and scoring all of them with 19 hits, winning a 15-5 victory and bringing the game to square one.

Meanwhile, Samsung, which took a break due to rain, will move to Daegu and play three consecutive home games against the NC Dinos from the 10th. KIA will move to Daejeon and start three consecutive away games with Hanwha Eagles.
