A Polesano on the top of baseball in Europe, capable of winning and convincing. Last Saturday, July 15, the Italian national team won the European U18 Baseball Championship after a clean sweep that saw the Azzurri win seven out of seven matches played, especially by beating the hosts Germany twice, both in the qualifying round and in the title final played in Regensburg, which saw Italy win 3-1.
The first objective had already been achieved with the access to the final, which gave the Azzurri the qualification to the World Championship of the category. A success that has its own “made in Polesine” component. In fact, in the roster of the European champion team, there is also Giacomo Taschin from Polesano, son of the provincial delegate of Coni Lucio, and a pillar of the Baseball & Softball Club Rovigo. Not just a “pawn” of the national team, but a real star, captain and leader, who He also won the award for best player of the tournament. A double pride of Polesano.
With their victory in Saturday’s final, Guglielmo Trinci’s twenty athletes bring back to Italy a continental Under 18 title, the fifteenth in history, which had been missing since 2015.
With Giacomo Taschin on the mound for his third victory of the tournament and with 78 precise and tricky throws, the Azzurri once again maintained the right attitude, focused, patient and ready to exploit every opportunity granted by the home pitchers.
The seventh consecutive victory was yet another masterpiece by a well-constructed team that played by heart, after a preparation that was taken care of down to the smallest detail.
