SANTO DOMINGO.\u2013<\/strong> Behind every successful baseball game, there are silent heroes whose dedication guarantees the spectacle. Aware of this reality, the Leones del Escogido<\/strong> held an emotional recognition this Tuesday for the ground maintenance staff of the Quisqueya Juan Marichal Stadium<\/strong>, prior to the game against the Gigantes del Cibao.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, thanks to the tireless work of the maintenance team, the field could be conditioned on multiple occasions, allowing the celebration of matches without major setbacks.\n\nOne of the most outstanding examples was the match between the Leones del Escogido and the Estrellas Orientales<\/strong>, held on October 20<\/strong>, which was not suspended and was able to start at 10:18 at night<\/strong> thanks to the extraordinary effort of the ground staff.\n\nAs part of the event, Jeudy Paula Capell\u00e1n<\/strong>, in charge of field maintenance, threw the ceremonial first pitch, accompanied by his collaborators Oscar Guti\u00e9rrez, Concepci\u00f3n Rosario, Joscar Pineda, Juan Paulino, Marino Parra, Francisco N\u00fa\u00f1ez, Edwin Lara, Jonathan Vera, Daniel Feliciano, Jos\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez and Yon Rosario<\/strong>.\n\nThe ceremony was attended by the president of LIDOM<\/strong>, the general manager of the Leones, Carlos Pe\u00f1a<\/strong>, and the scarlet legend Wilkin Castillo<\/strong>, who served as the catcher for the honorary pitch.\n\nIn addition to public recognition, Paula Capell\u00e1n and the members of her team received financial compensation<\/strong> as a token of gratitude for their invaluable contribution to the development of Dominican baseball and the success of the season.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
