Baseball C / M: Tritons Taranto, a precious victory in the mud of Caserta
Brilliant performance of the ion formation, carried by the formidable launcher Dary Ruiz
A tumultuous eve in the Tritons home dotted with injuries and last-minute unavailability that were added to the weather forecasts that were also not encouraging. Having to give up Garcia, Iemmolo, Mucavero, Danyeri Ruiz and Castillo, manager Luis Motolese throws the rookie Pippo Patruno born in 2005 in the role of second base into the fray. Starting pitcher Dary Ruiz and catcher Miguel Lopez to receive his pitches.
The first inning sees the Tritons take the lead thanks to the point scored by Richards promptly equalized by Caserta thanks to the valid joke of the American Barker.
At this point the pitcher from Taranto of Dominican origin, Dary Ruiz, takes the chair, blocking the way to Caserta with a mix of spin and fast balls. The Campanians up to the fifth inning will no longer be able to score while the ionic attack finds fluidity scoring 4 points, Patruno finds the first validity of his very young career, Da Costa is very fast between the bases driven by the beats of the excellent Alabrese and Constant. At the start of the sixth inning the partial is 5-1 for the Tritons. In the sixth inning they return to score on Estevez’s hit but thanks to a sumptuous defensive play by third base Da Costa find the outs to close the second half. Motolese’s guys react immediately, with the upper part of the lineup with the jokes of Richards, Ruiz and Lopez and on the scoreboard arrive 2 points, useful to restore the distances. The pitch made at the limit of practicability by the incessant rain forces the referee to suspend the game. The game resumes after 40 minutes, with the Caserta players sending the US pitcher Bush up the mountain, while Motolese leaves the Ruiz mountain. You get to the ninth inning with the Tarantini ahead 8-3, Da Costa gets an internal home run, in fact he first beats long on the outside field and after an exciting race he manages to conquer all four bases and therefore the point.
Lower part of the ninth inning, last chance for Caserta, for Taranto there is still Ruiz on the mountain and immediately earns 2 eliminations but thanks to a smear of the ionic defense Caserta tries to put pressure by scoring two points and filling the bases, the throws of Ruiz there are so many and Motolese decides to change the pitcher. The young Estarlin Richards born in 2005 climbs the mountain and with a strike out on the American Bush closes the match with a score of 9-5.
