In Serravalle Nettuno San Marino faces the battle for the primacy – Sport
With ease the hat-trick at the ‘Passo Buole’ in Turin, the Italian champions return to perform on Serravalle’s friendly diamond against Nettuno 1945 (playball tonight at 8 pm and tomorrow, at 4 pm and 8 pm). It is the third to last day of this Poule Scudetto, a phase in which the titans lead their group with a record of 17-4. Following Parma, which stops at 15-5 having lost the second recovery against Bologna on Wednesday evening (the third was scheduled on Wednesday 3 August). The other two teams, Collecchio and Nettuno, are completely cut off from the fight for the top. Arriving first, in the Poule, means avoiding Bologna in the playoff semifinals, with the opponent who will be one between Turin and Grosseto. Definitely softer rivals. “It’s true, but I don’t know if it is a great advantage – the manager of the tricolors, Doriano Bindi is skeptical -. Okay, the crossing is more affordable, but it could take over a bit of wanting to get de-concentrated. And if we want to go all the way, with Bologna or Parma we have to play “.
This weekend, meanwhile, the bar is not very high, also because the Tyrrhenians have lost some ‘pieces’: the former Nicola Garbella, who was also a Rimini Pirate, has married in Holland with Amsterdam, as well as some other player has left Neptune. On paper, the race that presents the greatest difficulties for the San Marino players is tonight, with the Lazio players who will always be able to count on their two foreign pitchers. At the start in San Marino he will put the ball in the hands of Quevedo, who will not have Rienzo behind this time: the Brazilian pitcher is in fact engaged with the national team of his country, an absence that will in any case be ‘camouflaged’ at best by the hosts, who will perhaps be able to propose on the ‘mound’ Baez or Kourtis for closing. Tomorrow the starters will be the usual one, good Quattrini for the afternoon and Palumbo in the spotlight. Good news from the infirmary for Ferrini, who has completely solved his problem and will also be deployed in defense. It is not yet 100% instead, which warns if the shoulder if he has to use the ball: however the pain of the bat will not create discomfort, therefore he will be beaten as designated.
