@BaseballFinland has rejected the Helsinki Mets request to postpone the game on August 13th, due to multiple Covid 19 exposures. As a result, we were given a loss, due to forfeit.

..and the aggressively evolving situation in Finland, but it also directly contradicts the Pesäpalloliitto, THL, and Finnish Government's guidelines.

Baseballa-joukkueessa kaksi altistumista alkuviikosta ja nämä ovat olleet muiden kanssa treeneissä
. Liitto @BaseballFinland joukkueen johdon mukaan on todennut, että ottelu pelataan altistumisista huolimatta normaalisti. @pesapallo perunut pelejä vastaavissa tilanteissa. 1/2
nor our teammates, SBSL umpires or scorekeepers.
Baseball is not as important as our health, or the health of our family and loved ones. The baseball community in Finland is small, and should understand that our bond is shared despite differences in uniforms (4/4)
A message from the Helsinki Mets Baseball Club:
Due to a positive COVID-19 case and several potential team exposures, the Helsinki Mets will not be playing a game today. A request was sent to the league to postpone and reschedule the game. The initial request was denied (1/?)
especially considering the Delta variant and its efficacy in spreading. The Mets baseball club, its coaches, and its players, cannot, in good conscience, arrive at the Myllypuro field for the game. We will not risk potentially exposing anyone, not the opposition (3/?)
Tomorrow, the game is ON! The Helsinki Mets will take on the defending Champion @EspooExpos! Game time is 18:30 and there will be a live stream on Facebook around 18:00. Tune in for what will surely be a great game.
