LIDOM Suspends Wednesday’s Game Due to Tropical Storm
The Dominican Republic Professional Baseball League (LIDOM) has announced the suspension of the games scheduled for Wednesday, October 22 of the 2025-2026 autumn-winter tournament, dedicated to Mr. Juan Marichal and contested for the BanReservas Cup.
The decision was made in response to the recommendations of the Government and the Emergency Operations Center (COE), in the face of the imminent arrival of Tropical Storm Melissa.
This measure is based on the red alert declaration for several provinces of the country, including Gran Santo Domingo, San Cristóbal, Peravia, Azua, Barahona, Pedernales, San José de Ocoa, and San Juan de la Maguana. The main objective is to ensure the safety of the population and protect material goods.
The suspended matches correspond to:
- Leones del Escogido vs. Gigantes del Cibao at Quisqueya Juan Marichal Stadium, 7:15 p.m.
- Toros del Este vs. Tigres del Licey at Francisco Micheli Park in La Romana, 7:30 p.m.
- Estrellas Orientales vs. Águilas Cibaeñas at Tetelo Vargas Stadium in San Pedro de Macorís, 7:30 p.m.
LIDOM, which had already suspended Tuesday’s games for the same reasons, will communicate the rescheduling of these games in due course. Constant monitoring of the evolution of the atmospheric phenomenon will be maintained and coordinated with the competent authorities.
The Emergency Operations Center (COE) and the State’s response agencies are in permanent session under the supervision of President Luis Abinader, Vice President Raquel Peña, and General Juan Manuel Méndez, director of the COE.
