Baseball, San Marino wins game 1: Godo beaten 8-1
Excellent start to the weekend for San Marino Baseball, which in Game 1 with Godo won 8-1 thanks to a good team rehearsal. There are nine players to hit at least one valid, while on the mountain the winning pitcher is Quevedo, with Rienzo perfect in his two innings and Kourtis with three strikeouts to close in the 7th.
THE CHRONICLE. Garcia del Toro starts with three strikeouts, but on the 2nd something changes. Ustariz is the first to hit valid, followed, after the first out, by Morresi. Pieternella is the second eliminated (on the plate), with Batista holding the innings thanks to the base ball that fills the cushions. At the beat Erick Epifano, who begins his evening with a precious single that brings home the two points of 2-0.
On the 3rd Quevedo concedes two ball bases, with Monari touching the valid which means the San Marino advantage halved: 1-2. A rapprochement that does not last long, because in the lower part of the same second half Celli goes with the single, Angulo takes it home with the double 3-1 and Morresi hits the second valid in two rounds at the plate, the single which means 4-1 . It is above all an evening of great continuity of the attack, this Friday. At the 4th place Leo Ferrini’s super valid legs, who then steals the second one and finally flies home, with two outs, on Angulo’s single for the 5-1.
On the mountain, after the four rounds of Quevedo, two perfect innings by André Rienzo. At 5th the Italian Champions close the accounts and do so by attacking the innings well immediately. It begins with Leonora’s hit, then base ball to Morresi, double by Pieternella of 6-1, sprint of sacrifice by Batista for 7-1 and double by Epifano for 8-1. Kourtis finishes 7th without problems, race 1 is in San Marino.
