If baseball resumes in any form this summer, the Orioles won’t make their scheduled trip to Williamsport, Pennsylvania, to play in Major League Baseball’s annual Little League Classic.
The Sunday-night showcase game during the Little League World Series scheduled for Aug. 23 between the Orioles and Red Sox has been canceled. The announcement was part of a statement from Little League officials that they wouldn’t be hosting the youth baseball world championship tournament because of the coronavirus pandemic.
“Delivering this news comes with a very heavy heart,” Little League International board of directors chairman Hugh E. Tanner said in a statement.
