Santo Domingo – The Dominican Republic Professional Baseball League (LIDOM) has decided to completely suspend Friday’s games. This measure is due to the indirect effects of Tropical Storm Melissa, which continues to impact various areas of the country. The suspension is based on the recommendations of meteorological and emergency authorities, as well as the current conditions of the stadiums. League delegates confirmed that several playing fields are not in optimal condition for matches. According to reports from the National Hurricane Center (NHC), Melissa could intensify into a hurricane between Friday night and Saturday. This increases the risk of heavy rain, wind gusts, and possible flooding.

The postponed matches are:- Gigantes del Cibao vs. Toros del Este, at the Julián Javier Stadium in San Francisco de Macorís (7:00 p.m.)
- Leones del Escogido vs. Águilas Cibaeñas, at the Quisqueya Juan Marichal Stadium in Santo Domingo (7:15 p.m.)
