4-0 against Ostrava • newsrimini.it
The rain is still the absolute protagonist of the second day of racing a Bonn. The San Marino baseball he comes out wet but winning, because his match, played at the beginning of the day, was interrupted by the flood but approved.
The race with Ostrava it’s over for 4-0. Too bad for Gabriel Lino’s home run at the beginning of the eighth which was not counted (the match “closed” at the end of the seventh) but it remains an excellent match for the whole team. Winning a super Carlos Quevedo, who in his 6 innings went close to perfection with only one pass to base allowed (Novotny hit in 4th). There are eight valid totals for the Italian Champions, with 2/3 with home runs by Oscar Angulo and 2/3 with two points beaten at home by Jesus Ustariz.
THE CHRONICLE. In the first two innings the pitchers definitely prevail, with Leonora (single) representing the only arrival based on the match. Then the San Marino attack rises in tone. Batista opens the third inning with a single, steals the second, is in third on Epifano’s rebound and goes to score the 1-0 on Leo Ferrini’s sacrificial sprint. At 4th the Titans double and do it through Oscar Angulo’s round of club, who sends her off the pitch and writes the 2-0. The advantage, although reduced in general terms, becomes enormous for Quevedo’s type of match on the mountain: no-hit, no base ball and only one finish on the base allowed (Novotny hit on 4th). At the 6th the team closes the accounts with an attack of great substance. Celli opens with the single, Angulo follows him with another valid, Lino’s sprint makes both riders run and Ustariz’s single sends them to the point: 4-0. At 7th it is Luca Di Raffaele’s turn on the mountain, who suffers Malik’s hit but closes very well with two eliminations to the pot (Kubica and Grepl). Meanwhile the rain increases in intensity. The eighth begins, with Lino hitting a nice home run and with the referees, shortly after, sending the teams back to their respective benches. A few minutes of waiting and then the final decision: the match won by San Marino 4-0 (homologation at 7th).
