Baseball A play-off, San Marino Neptune to get back in line
When it comes to baseball triptychs, the goal is always the same: to bring home the three-game mini series as many times as possible. All the more reason San Marino will have to do it today and tomorrow, in light of the double knockout in the debut against Parma which has nothing to compromise but has quickly catapulted the Italian champions into the pitfalls of the Poule Scudetto.
At Steno Borghese it’s never easy for anyone. So (20.30) and tomorrow (15.30 and 20.30) eyes wide open because Neptune, never like this year, is an indecipherable team.
A step back because Tuesday’s friendly match against the Italian national team was just what the titans needed in the post-Parma match. “A beautiful day – said Doriano Bindi for the occasion in the opponent’s dug-out – a good training session for both teams and the initiatives involving local children were also excellent”.
We are talking about Neptune, a team that risked being out of the Poule Scudetto, qualified only on the last day and thanks to the 2-0 in the direct clashes against Macerata. “But it remains a dangerous team that has changed a lot even in the last month – underlines the San Marino manager -. We know well the Italians who represent the hard core, but not the whole team, we will check live. They are important matches even if we are at the beginning of this second phase, they too have the aim of hitting one of the first two places ».
Are you coming to San Marino? “Well, Epifano is slowly recovering and there are no particular ailments.”
Logically, the eyes will be on Andrè Rienzo, who appeared in difficulty, almost lost on the mountain last Thursday against Parma, but already more on the ball in the inning he launched against the national team. But Bindi wants to play it safe and tonight he will entrust the ball to Quevedo.
«Yes, he will be the race one starter while for the afternoon like last week it will be Quattrini’s turn. Then we will see who he will send to the platform for the race on Saturday evening ».
