Daejeon, which issued a special warning of heavy snow and strong winds, will it be possible to play the last exhibition game... "Snow is predicted in the afternoon."

Due to the cold wave that hit the Daejeon area, attention is being paid to whether the final exhibition game of the 2025 KBO League between the Hanwha Eagles and the Samsung Lions can be held.

The 2025 Shinhan Bank SOL Bank KBO League exhibition game between Hanwha and Samsung will be held at Hanwha Life Ball Park in Daejeon at 1 p.m. on the 18th.온라인바카라

The KBO League, which will take a three-day break after the game, will have a 144 game run starting with the opening game on March 22. The Hanwha Eagles will head to Suwon, the KT Wiz, and the Samsung Lions will head home to hold the opening two consecutive games against the Kiwoom Heroes.

However, the cold weather, which hit the stadium from Friday morning, shows no signs of abating. Snow began to fall in the Daejeon area from early morning on Wednesday. According to the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA), a special snow warning and strong wind warning were in effect in Busa-dong, Jung-gu, where the stadium is located, as of 8 a.m. and the temperature felt fell to -2.2.

The problem is that snow and rain are predicted with strong winds even after 1 p.m. when the game begins. The maximum temperature is only 6 degrees Celsius around 3 p.m., and players must warm up in cold weather of 2 to 3 degrees Celsius.

Cold wave could be canceled for two consecutive days. The exhibition game between the KIA Tigers and the SSG Landers, which was scheduled to be held at Gwangju-Kia Champions Field on Sunday, was canceled due to an agreement between the two teams. According to the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO), it was the 13th exhibition game to be canceled since 2001. The decision was so unusual that it was the match between the Hanwha Eagles and the Doosan Bears in Jamsil on March 21, 2018.

However, after Star News confirmed with officials from both teams of KIA and SSG, Gwangju area also had considerable snow accompanied by sleet from the night of the 16th. Even in the afternoon, the decision to cancel could have been made due to cold weather that could have raised concerns over players' injury.

The weather was similar in Daejeon, which had a game at 6 p.m. along with Gwangju on the same day (17th). In the case of Daejeon, it was not in a situation where players could not play without wind at the beginning of the game, but the temperature dropped sharply as the sun went down. The coaches of both Hanwha and Samsung teams prepared for the injury by replacing the main players after just one or two at-bats, and finally agreed to end the game early in the bottom of the fifth inning.

Meanwhile, Hanwha secured victory in the game that ended quickly. Starting pitcher Ryan Weiss pitched well with three hits, three walks, five strikeouts and one run during five innings, and won the game 3-1 thanks to Kim Tae-yeon's first homer in an official game at the new stadium and Ha Joo-seok's timely hit.
