The Under 15 of Viterbo Baseball wins the two matches played on the friendly “G. Massini” and goes to the finals with two games to spare to compete for the regional title.
THE CHRONICLE OF MEETINGS. Viterbo Baseball-Roma Brewers: 12-11. The boys from Viterbo got off to a great start and conceded no points in the first inning thanks to a splendid double play. The boys play beautiful games and just as many hits, including those of Di Martino and Mazza. However, the hosts, convinced of their superiority, stop playing and allow the visiting team to return to the match. Only in the last inning was the match resolved in favor of the home team. The hits that lead to the victory were signed by Mazza A., Di Martino, Cabrera and Mazza V.
Cali Roma-Viterbo Baseball: 2-7. This was the match to win against the direct rival. In the first attack the Cali pitcher Miterni does not concede any points, while Viterbo, thanks to some errors, allows Acilia to score a point. In the third inning the Viterbo bats wake up and thanks to the hits of Torri, Fortunati and Di Martino, Viterbo scores two points. At this point the competition becomes particularly exciting because Acilia, never subdued, draws. In the fourth inning the pitcher from Viterbo Di Martino does not concede any points, while the attack from Viterbo scores 4. The last defense sees Fortunati as the protagonist who gives a great performance on the mound helped by an excellent Mazza Alessio who eliminates the third runner the end of the game. In attack, Cabrera 1 out of 3 with a triple, Torri 3 out of 3, Fortunati 1 out of 1, double, Di Martino 2 out of 3 with a double and Pietrini with a triple.
Manager Fortunati’s comment: «With these two victories we have reached first place in the group early, which has always been our goal. In the first match, the 4-0 in our favor played a bad joke and we paid for our overconfidence: it was a hard-fought victory. In the second against Cali the boys took to the field determined to bring home the result. Now we have time to prepare as best we can for the finals in which we will fight for the regional title. It won’t be easy to replicate last year’s success, but we will try.”
