The National Baseball Series continues to be a topic of conversation due to its malfunctioning. The most recent news is the suspension of the game between Pinar del Río and Artemisa on Tuesday, allegedly due to "poor field conditions".
The Facebook user Osbel Benítez Polo had reported the lack of gasoline to carry out the planned game between the Vegueros and the Artemisa team.
The National Institute of Sports, Physical Education, and Recreation (INDER) reacted on social media with an official statement. They report that a group of experts visited Capitán San Luis Stadium and determined that "the field is in poor condition."
"The wet clay, tall and damp grass. They decide not to start the game to avoid injuries and damage to the show," says the official text.
In recent days, heavy rains have occurred in western Cuba, and the government assures that this has had a negative impact on the grounds of the Stadium in Pinar del Río.
Despite the response from the government of Pinar del Río and INDER, the energy crisis in Cuba has been affecting sports events on the island for months.
INDER announced in March that all games of the National Baseball Series will take place at 2:00 p.m. due to the energy situation. This measure was taken after the temporary suspension of all sporting events in February due to the low availability of fuel.
Government restrictions due to fuel shortages are increasingly severe and are significantly disrupting daily activities and public events.
