The draw for the two groups for this year’s B-level European Championship got changed by the Technical Commission of the Confederation of European Baseball (CEB). Lithuania and Poland switch spots. Lithuania is going to play in Vienna, Austria against Austria, Russia, Slovakia, Ireland and Belarus. Meanwhile in Zurich, Switzerland, Poland takes on Switzerland, Great Britain, Ukraine, Slovenia and Bulgaria. Apparently there was a communication mistake. Anyway the group draw remains preliminary since the status of Belarus still has not been confirmed and a protest by Israel is outstanding. A decision is expected to be made at an Executive Meeting on January 12.
