Taoyuan, April 11 (CNA) Heavy rain on Saturday caused the postponement of the highly anticipated opening game in Taiwan's baseball season, the only one scheduled anywhere in the world at this time amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

While the opening game was postponed, the season will commence Sunday with two games in Taiwan's Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL).

Defending champions Rakuten Monkeys will play New Taipei-based Fubon Guardians, and the Taichung-based Chinatrust Brothers will come against the Uni-President 7-Eleven Lions of Tainan.

The game between the Brothers and the Monkeys has been pushed back to a later date, as the field at Taoyuan International Baseball Stadium was rendered unplayable due to heavy rains, according to the CPBL.    [FULL  STORY]
