From the weekend that could have undermined its certainties, Italian champions UnipolSai emerged strengthened. The gap with league leaders San Marino narrows, leaving one game to Macerata. The advantage increases with Parma, which falls in the first outing against BBC Grosseto.
Daniele Frignani’s team in Maremma with BSC Grosseto should have taken a risk against a healthy and on the rise team. And instead Fortitudo scores a trio of victories: 0-6, 5-14 and 0-2. Confirming the reliability of the defense and demonstrating that UnipolSai is there in attack.
A pitcher is growing, the left-handed and Spanish Marc Civit, who had started in pursuit but who, in recent weeks, thanks to the fact that Leon has returned to his homeland, has been ready. Frignani has always had a predilection for left-handed players (more difficult to attack) and the Spaniard is deserving of the trust that the staff and pitching coach, Fabio Betto, have given him. The rest will be taken care of by a group that, as always happens in Fortitudo, thinks of the good of the team rather than the interests of individuals. And the results arrive with Fortitudo which, compared to San Marino and Parma, seems more attentive to details and never misses the opportunity to deal the knockout blow.
Of course, four of the five defeats of captain Dobboletta and his teammates occurred with San Marino and Parma winning their respective series. But the difference now appears to be bridgeable even if San Marino played the surprise coup, surprising everyone a bit.
For the playoffs, the league leaders have signed Raul Rivero, the protagonist of more than ten seasons of successes and triumphs for Fortitudo.
Lele Frignani, at this point, is still waiting for a new pitcher: general manager Christian Mura is already working to satisfy him.
The other matches: Macerata-San Marino 5-9, 4-7, 2-1 (in the 8th); Parma-Bbc Grosseto 1-3, 7-2, 11-5.
The ranking: San Marino 778 (14-4); UnipolSai Fortitudo Bologna 722 (13-5); Parma 611 (11-7); Macerata 500 (9-9); Bsc Grosseto 278 (5-13); BBC Grosseto 117 (2-16).
