It was a great day of baseball, yesterday at the Serravalle stadium. Italy against the Italian Champions, but before and after a lot of fun, children of the youth teams on the pitch for the BP of the National team, autographs by the Azzurri on special balls produced for the occasion and much more.
In the meantime, San Marino Baseball has welcomed Lorenzo Morresi back into its ranks, who has concluded his experience in the US in 2022 and has rejoined the team in view of the next competitive commitments.
But let’s start from the early afternoon … Enthusiastic. Warm and enthusiastic. This can be felt outside the pitch, when the boys from the San Marino and Torre Pedrera Falcons youth teams began to arrive. Then, at the beginning of the Italian National Team’s BP, everyone on the outside field to collect the balls. At the end of the BP, enthusiastic crowds and autographs for everyone. Meanwhile, the tasty side dish of live music and food stands began to take hold …
