Rain postpones the Clásico del Norte; Saraperos and Sultanes will play a doubleheader this Wednesday.

The rain that fell on the city on Tuesday afternoon forced the postponement of the second game of the series between the Saraperos de Saltillo and the Sultanes de Monterrey , which was being played at the Francisco I. Madero Stadium as part of the Clásico del Norte . The field conditions, combined with the persistent precipitation, prevented the scheduled match from taking place.

Given this situation, the team's management announced that a doubleheader will be played this Wednesday, beginning at 6:00 p.m. The second game will take place approximately 30 minutes after the first game, following the traditional seven-inning doubleheader format. Both teams are already preparing adjustments to their pitching rotations and strategies to cope with the extended schedule.

The weather forecast for this Wednesday is more encouraging. A partly cloudy day is expected, with highs around 24 degrees and lows around 15 degrees. The chance of rain is low, so favorable conditions are expected for the full doubleheader on the Saltillo diamond.
