THE CHRONICLE. Excellent start for guest clubs, such as in the afternoon competition. Ferrini earns the base ball, Celli hits a single and so does Leonora, who thus signs the 1-0. On the sprint of Ustariz the 2-0 also arrives and the race seems to settle on the most favorable tracks in San Marino. At 4th comes the 3-0 in the form of a single by Pulzetti that sends Ustariz to the point.
The Crocetta reacts to the 6th, the second inning on the Peluso mountain after the four of Quevedo. Immediately two arrivals on base (single by Fava and base ball by Daniele Marchesi) then, after the elimination of Piazza, single by Alfinito that brings in two points with the complicity of a defensive error (2-3). On Alfinito’s rebound, the 3-3 also enters and the game is once again extremely balanced.
San Marino from the fifth inning is not effective in the box and fails to go to base, with Crocetta trying to overtake in the 7th (two on base but Baez eliminates Daniele Marchesi at the plate) and in the 9th (two on base but still Baez puts “K” Daniele Marchesi).
The score remains nailed to 3-3 and at 10th the tie-break regime is immediately entered, with due on base and zero out. San Marino takes the opportunity to score two points. Pieternella moves the riders with a bunt and Di Fabio’s sacrificial sprint of scoring brings in two, thanks also to an error by the defense (5-3).
In the lower part of the tenth, Piazza also moves his corridors to the point position with a bunt, but immediately afterwards Delmonte is out on the fly. San Marino is a 1 out of the win, but Alfinito is not there and touches the valid in the center which means 5-5. Alfinito himself arrives in second on the shot and at this point the next batter, Gradali, has passed to base. The game ends on the validity of Adorni who brings in the point of 6-5. Vincenzo il Crocetta.
