Baseball, San Marino begins Intergirone beating Grosseto 5-4
The debut in the intergirone of San Marino Baseball coincides with a victory. Bbc Spirulina Becagli Grosseto is beaten 5-4 after a match in which the hosts were ahead twice (2-0 and 4-2) and then immediately as many comebacks. In the lower part of the 7th, however, the decisive point arrived in the form of Noguera’s shooting error on Di Fabio’s bunt, with Jesus Ustariz very ready to run home for the victory.
THE MATCH. Quevedo starts well and in the first three innings leaves no way out for the Grosseto team with zero arrivals on base. The attack, on the other hand, manages to hit Carbo well even though it begins to leave many men on base (in the end there will be 10). At the 1st Ferrini is on base after a crazy throw on the third strike, Celli and Angulo are eliminated, Ferrini himself steals the second and Lino touches the validity of the advantage, 1-0. At 2nd the doubling is generated by the hits of Morresi and Epifano and by the diamond serve, with an out, by Ferrini, who is worth the out in second but not the one in first. No double-crosses and 2-0 in the safe.
On the 4th the attack from Grosseto rings strong and does it with Albert, who hits a long home run in the center at the first launch by Quevedo (1-2). At 5th the BBC equalized thanks to the base ball gained by Loardi after a long round and to the hits of Sgnaolin and Vaglio, with the latter pushing the 2-2 home thanks to a single impregnable inside.
At the change of field San Marino goes back and does so thanks to the base in Ferrini, the single from Celli, the advancements and the fly sacrifice of Oscar Angulo. 3-2, with Noguera who a few minutes after saving Grosseto for the third out with full bases. At 6th the boys of Doriano Bindi score a very important point. With two outs and empty bases, Ferrini earns a valuable base ball and Celli hits a double on the right which is worth 4-2.
It seems done, but the Spirulina Becagli puts together another comeback at 7th. Sgnaolin touches a single, Biscontri is the first out and Vaglio goes with the valid who places the men in the corners. Ferretti is eliminated in diamond and, in a situation of two outs and two men in the point position, Albert intentionally passed to first. The next man is Chelli, whose round of bat is perfect and is worth a single to the right from two points. It is 4-4, with Baez who immediately closed by eliminating Herrera in the pot.
All to be redone, but the attack of the Italian Champions manages to score the point of victory in the lower part of the 7th. Ustariz is hit and goes to second on balk during Di Fabio’s turn. Lorenzo goes with a further attempt to bunt and the ball is in the field, with Noguera slinging over it but also making a clear mistake in the first shot. Ustariz, who was already in third, comes all the way home. It’s 5-4, San Marino wins.
