In the double match which was held starting on Saturday afternoon at Avigliana’s home, it was possible to witness 2 good matches with a great balance between the two contenders.
And since numbers don’t lie in baseball, it’s no coincidence that the rankings also reflected and continue to reflect this situation of perfect balance.
The first game finished 0-3 for the hosts, denoted good control by the 2 defenses.
If you look at the box score with 8 hits each, Avigliana was a little better at realizing the opportunities that presented themselves in front of the hitters.
In the second game that started at 7.00 pm, our boys were much more concrete in bringing home the runs by taking a 3-1 lead in the fourth inning and then 5-1 at the beginning of the fifth.
Unfortunately they were unable to contain the various attacks by Avigliana, who point by point in the various innings grabbed the tie, scoring the 5-5 point right in the bottom part of the ninth.
The fierce match is thus extended to the tiebreak
In the top of the tenth inning, the men (Vitali and Righetto) are placed on first and second as per rule, and immediately Manzoni and Fasani take home 2 important points. In the following attack, Avigliana brings home Sottocasa (no pun intended) placed on second base by rule and equalizes on a balk call
Unfortunately, with 2 outs and a 0-2 home score, Vigo Cesare (Avigliana Rebels) steals third base and collides with our defender.
Following the impact, the Avigliana player remains on the ground. The emergency services intervened and given the situation of suspected rupture of the femur and possible involvement of the pelvis, the paramedics had to resort to the intervention of the air ambulance.
The atmosphere of pure and healthy competition that usually populates the diamond rightly turns into sincere shock and dismay on the part of both sides.
It is therefore decided in mutual agreement between the coaches and the clubs to close the game on 7 all
Obviously we wish Cesare Vigo our best wishes for a speedy recovery and we hope to see him soon back racing in the various ballparks of our championship!
