Acea’s men close the first phase of the championship with 2 victories in the away match in Sesto Fiorentino. Game 1 ends in 8 innings with a score of 16-3 while game 2 ends 6-2.
Athletics Bologna close their first phase of the season with a record of 12 wins and 8 defeats. The last two victories came in the last weekend of the game against Padule Baseball, in Sesto Fiorentino (FI), where Acea’s men were able to take off in game 1 (16-3) and resist and then turn the result in their favor in game 2 (6-2).
In the first match of the day the yellow-greens start strong with the single of Mirko Errico and the double of Alessandro Montanari that package the 1 to 0 for Bologna. The response of the home team comes in the following inning with the double, plus a defensive error, that allows Mateo Medina to reach the third and the diamond serve of Pena Abreu for the temporary 1 to 1.
The Athletics gave the decisive shock to the game in the 4th inning with 5 scores that directed the match. Three walks and a defensive error brought the Bolognese back ahead at 2 to 1 before the hits of Monda Manuel and Errico for the temporary 6 to 1. The yellow-green attack did not stop and continued to score both in the 5th and 6th inning, two points per inning.
At the 7th comes the 11th point of the yellow-green day that projects the men of Acea in the zone of obvious superiority but the Tuscans do not give up and score a point that extends the game. At the change of sides comes the vehement yellow-green response with 5 points, including the Grand Slam (home run with the bases loaded) by Mirko Errico, which definitively closes the game. The Athletics win game 1 16-3 in 8th innings.
Unlike the first match of the day, in the evening match it is the hosts who break the deadlock. In the second inning it is Valsecchi’s single that pushes Pena Abreu to home base for 1 to 0. The Bologna bats struggle to find continuity against the departing opponent Silva Mena while the Tuscan ones find the double during the third inning with the hits of Faggi (single) and Gentili (double) who make it 2 to 0. The game remains at 2 to 0 until the 6th inning when the A’s impact the challenge.
The yellow-green leadoff Del Priore opens the inning with a single while Manuel Monda gets a walk base. With runners at the corners, and one out, the double by Alessandro Montanari unlocks the Felsinei scoring and thus impacts the challenge at 2 all. The knockout blow for the Acea men is recorded in the 8th inning thanks to 4 runs that direct the game in their favor.
The first lead of the match comes after hits from Monda Manuel and Mirko Errico with the help of an error from the local defense. The 4 to 2 comes, however, on the diamond rebound of Monda Mirco and finally the hits of Accorsi, Marinelli, Pancellini and Cocchi set the score at the definitive 6 to 2. Excellent closure of the match by the closer from Bologna Giorgi Francesco who in 3 rounds He didn’t allow any hits and made 5 outs at the plate.
