The Holguín baseball team, locally known “Los Cachorros”, is getting ready for the opening at the General Calixto García Iñiguez stadium on Sunday the 12th the LX National Baseball Series, conditioned by the effects of the new coronavirus SARS CoV-2 in the country.
Nelson Adrián Morales Pérez, Provincial Director of Sport in the eastern territory, told the ACN that they have all the supplies required for this series, including the new team's suits.
Amidst the current epidemiological situation they have the support of the Provincial Public Health Directorate, which guaranteed a digital thermometer and trained personnel to detect the symptoms associated with the new coronavirus in people who participate in the Championship.
Due to COVID-19 pandemic, the LX National Baseball Series will be held without the presence of the public in the stadiums as a way to preserve the health of the people, so fans of this sport will be able to follow the games live from the television, radio and social networks.
Players are also considered to wear their masks during the game due to the exchange with participants from other provinces in a narrow framework, added the manager.
For his part, Francisco Martínez, mentor of Los Cachorros, said to the local newspaper ahora! that the Holguín baseball team will start the championship in the Calixto García stadium of the same province in four consecutive subseries, in which they will face those selected from Pinar del Río, Artemisa, Isla de Juventud and Industriales respectively.
In the current circumstances due to COVID-19, the athletes have fulfilled most of the training planned for this stage, related to physical preparation, pitching, batting and defense, although there are still some problems in the touches of the ball, mainly those of surprise, he said.
