After trying to work out a way to host provincial minor baseball tournaments in the province this summer, Baseball NL announced the games have been cancelled for 2020 due to the fear of the spread of COVID-19. "We had some consultations back and forth, we met with some MHAs and had some talks," Kristyn Coley, metro director of Baseball NL said. Kristyn Coley, metro director for Baseball NL, said regional baseball tournaments can continue as long as players don't travel outside their public health region to play. Coley said Baseball NL has been pushing to get women's baseball included in the 2025 Canada Games, which could be hosted in St. John's. But even through the challenges, Coley said Baseball NL has found more room for collaboration in the sport.
