The first news of the day is the return to business, seven years after his retirement, of Simone Cammi, an authentic red and white flag with over four hundred active appearances and with great experience between IBL1, IBL2, Serie A2 and B. Cammi is precisely the author of the hit that unlocks the game in the second inning thanks to which Gibson scores, arriving on first for balls and second on steals. Ares equalized in the second but Piacenza regained the advantage in the fourth thanks to two base balls followed by the bunts of Minoia and Carsana. The Milanese do not give up and are equalized in the upper part of the sixth but in the next attack, the red and white drop poker thanks to two base balls, the single by Minoia and the deep double by the pinch hitter Calderon who effectively splits the game in two . With Cufré always in control of his throws and consequently of the opponent’s attack for seven rounds, it’s up to Niccolò Loardi to lead the salvation with two rounds without the slightest trouble.

As often happens, in the second match the white and red defense starts contracting and concedes points in the first inning: a base ball, a double and a single are worth the guests 2-0. This time, however, the attack reacts immediately and four points arrive at the field change with the valid ones from Loardi, Calderon and Carsana. Ares equalized again in the third but in the lower part there was a new reaction from Piacenza who, with a double from Cufré and singles from Schiavoni and Carsana, obtained three points which were worth the advantage which in the continuation of the innings would be constantly increased up to 15-5 run in the eighth inning, product
by Chacon and by the singles of Scrivani and Cufré, and which decrees the early suspension of the match for manifest superiority. In a game in which the attack shone particularly well, noteworthy are the performances of Cufré (4 out of 5 with two doubles), Carsana (3 out of 4 with 2 rbis), Chacon (2 out of 5) and Schiavoni (3 out of 5 with 2 rbi). The top tier of the group standings has not changed, with all the top three earning doubles. On the other hand, all the others stand out and a fiery finale is expected with each misstep having a significant specific weight.
