According to team officials, the incident occurred around 6:45 PM local time while the game was in progress. A fan, who was reportedly watching the game from the first-base side seating area, suddenly lost consciousness and collapsed. Emergency medical personnel immediately responded to the scene, administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and utilizing an automated external defibrillator (AED). The individual was subsequently transported to a nearby hospital via ambulance.
Game Resumes After Brief Delay
The collapse took place when the SSG Landers were leading the Kiwoom Heroes 1-0, just before the start of the second inning. Reports indicate that the fan had initially collapsed before the second inning but was able to stand and move with assistance from team personnel. This event prompted the official four-minute pause in the game, beginning at 6:48 PM, before play could recommence.
