On Thursday evening, there were plenty of events on the Kouvola baseball field as Kouvola’s balls and Vimpel’s Veto met in a hot top race.
Players who have performed in jury conditions try to keep themselves cool with every possible constant, such as holding a cold and cool towel in the neck and spraying water on their head. The shadow in the open field is rarely available.
Screen Aleksis Ärje asked KPL’s team leader Mikko from Kondratjeffhow players cool down in the reindeer sunshine in the field.
After the initial speeches, Kondratjeff pulled a real surprise card from his sleeve. He lifted a bucket of water from the ground and poured water on the head with a liter.
– Isn’t it refreshing, the team leader said in a smile at the same time, clapping the field journalist on the field.
– Well, now it’s good to continue working, Ärje said live in live.
Superpesis shared a screen video on his social media channels.

The heat started at Nelonen
Iltalehti reached out to Ihä to comment on the amusing incident.
Was the scene staged or authentic?
– This is what I have been asked for up to dozens of times in the last 24 hours. However, I have not revealed. Everyone can decide for themselves how it went, he said.
Although players are in the toughest groove due to the physical load of the heat, the players on the edge of the field and the photographers and presenters who make TV broadcasts to be long spaces at the sun.
According to Ihä, the struggle of Thursday night was “quite special.”
– I had never before I had seen at the Kouvola baseball stadium that the thermometer in the auditorium behind the home nest shows Nelonen’s reading. And there was no one there, so the weather was really hot.
Did the technology stay in order when a bucket of water was poured on you?
– The equipment seemed to stay in order. The only shock came to the reporter when cold water was poured into the neck, Ärje laughed, referring to, among other things, the microphone and its transmitter.
Was there changing clothes?
– The car is involved, but you couldn’t get them to get them during the match. On a wet shirt, the rest of the game went.
Kouvola won the match purely 2-0 (4-3, 7-2) and continued his fierce. The Kouvola people are in clear lead in the regular season and the biggest championship favorites.
At the end of the interview, Ärje, who is breathing in baseball in the summer, presented his enlightened betting from the champion of the current season.
– When I went to last year’s playoffs, I considered KPL as the biggest favorite. They didn’t win even then. Kouvola is a bit like Ilves on the hockey side of Tampere: that very success seems to be around. Now it looks very strong again.
– If something is a must -say, I would say that Kouvola’s balls are the Finnish champion 2025. At such a hard level, there is currently action.
