The Korean baseball season will resume this week after a record-breaking heat wave forced cancellations of nearly every game last week.
The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) teams will return to the field Tuesday across the nation following their unexpected summer break. Only three out of five games slated for last Tuesday were played, and then the league decided to scrap all the remaining games of the week amid unrelenting heat nationwide.
The KBO also announced last week all remaining games will start at 7 p.m. until further notice. Normally, weekday games begin at 6:30 p.m., and games on weekends and holidays during the summer months begin at 6 p.m.
The first heat-related cancellation came on Aug. 1, with two games being scratched, followed by another game the following day.
