The penultimate day of Poule Scudetto: to the “Jannella” of Grosseto Friday 5 (direct are FIBSTV e MS Channel starting at 8.45 pm, first launch at hours 21) and Saturday 6 August (16, 21), with the challenge between Spirulina Becagli e Campidonico Turinthe second place in the group will most likely be decided B1 (behind the UnipolSai Fortitudo Bolognacommitted at home against theHort@ Godo), which gives the right to access the semi-final against the first classified of the group A1which he currently sees fighting Parmaclimate (committed to Neptune) e San Marino (which awaits the Camec Collecchio).
The day that will start from Friday 5 August is to be experienced in one breath: at stake, especially in group B1, there is access to the semi-final championship. At the Spirulina Becagli Grossetowhich boasts a four-game lead over Campidonico Turin and two wins out of three in the head-to-head matches with only six games left, two wins at the “Roberto Jannella” home stadium are enough to return to contending for the Scudetto at the “big 3” San Marino, Fortitudo Bologna and Parma Baseball. The Maremma people come from three suffered successes obtained in Romagna on theHort@ Good. The team of Jairo Ramos had presented to the appointment with several defections and had to support the overtime of Jonathan Carboincreasingly dominant in Serie A, and the veteran Antonio Noguera, decisive from the bullpen in the two games launched. Actually all the mound (Federico Cozzolino, Junior Oberto e Luis Gonzalez) was decisive in the three measurement successes in Romagna and they will always support the team even against Pier Paolo Illuminati’s Grizzlies. To evaluate the conditions of Barcelona and third base Riccardo Gentiliwhile among the recovered figure Yuri Sarrocco, already available in the meetings last Saturday. If it is true that the Campidonico Turin comes from a home sweep at the hands of Fortitudo Bologna, and that the Turin bears have strung together a series of seven consecutive defeats, not winning since 2 July on the occasion of game 2 against Parmaclima, certainly they do not start beaten and will sell dearly with the newfound Frederick Oaksreturning from his experience with the Argentine national teamJose Rodriguez e Anthony Arcila on the hunt for redemption after the difficult starts against the Bolognese attack and a bullpen that has already shown that it can be reliable. Much passes, however, from the attack: if it is true that John Peloro, Maurizio De Maria e Jesus Carrera have repeatedly witnessed continuity in offensive production, and that Samuel Catalan has recently given evidence of good form in the box, the three guns of the Illuminati lineup cannot do everything alone and to get the best of the BBC Grosseto you need the contribution from everyone. Before the match, broadcast live on FIBSTV e MS Channelthe number withdrawal ceremony will take place at the “Jannella” 26 which was, in the past, flags Gianmario Costa (in Grosseto from 1983 to 1990 with the championships won in 1986 and 1989; in Turin from 1979 to 1982 and again from 1995 to 1997 first with William Lawson’s Turin, then with Juventus 48 Turin) – coach of Italia Baseball elite and Italia Baseball U23 as well as technician in the Grizzlies club – and of the current manager from Grosseto Jairo Ramosprotagonist with the Maremma for most of his career as a player from 1998 to 2009 (2004 and 2007 championships and 2005 Champions Cup) before moving to Bologna (2010), San Marino (2011-2015), Rimini (2016) and Novara, where he finished his career in 2017. For the occasion, the banners of the historical groups of organized red and white cheering will return to the stands of the historic Maremma stadium.
Already certain of the first place in the group and returning Wednesday evening from the last recovery won (10-1) with Parmaclima, for UnipolSai Fortitudo Bologna the last away game is on the horizon (Friday night) before five home games (the two on Saturday against Godo and the last three against Grosseto). Both teams have nothing more to ask from this Scudetto poule. L’Hort@ Good, who have long since set aside the ambitions to qualify for the semifinal, can no longer improve his position in the standings and can use the last few games to experiment in view of the first phase of the Italian Cup (in which he will participate, from 18 August, with the other third and fourth classified in groups A1 and B1). Despite the first place already acquired, Daniele Frignani’s Effe cannot afford to take lightly the formation of Stefano Naldoni last in the group. We need to keep the tension alive to close a Scudetto poule so far full of good sensations and to better prepare for the semi-final against one between Parmaclima and San Marino.
It is precisely the long-distance struggle between San Marino and Parmaclima to hold the stage. The reigning Italian champions, after taking a big risk last Saturday with Neptune, were able to react with the strength of the attack and the energy of the launching mound which in the Saturday night match managed to stop the Lazio attack , allowing San Marino to win two games out of three. Friday (in Serravalle) and Saturday (at “Zinelli”) the obstacle will be Camec Collecchio by Dorian Castro always looking for a victory that has been missing since 25 June but with the conviction of having played three good matches against the European champion Parmaclima and the awareness of still having some cartridges to shoot, especially in terms of third place (the third of group A1 will face the fourth of group B1 in the first phase of the Italian Cup) against Nettuno, just one match away. The Collecchio, who enjoyed a good performance from the prospect Samuele Gamberinican focus on certainties Andrea Pasotto, Javier Monzon e Leonardo Alfieri but the mound – with Ripe Lime protagonist of three discreet rounds against Parma – is called to manage the frightening and profound attack of San Marino.
After the defeat with Fortitudo Bologna which brought them back to a game away from the reigning Italian champions, the Parmaclimate he knows that every game is heavy from now on. Before thinking about San Marino (last day) he must overcome the pride of the Neptune 1945, good at not giving up to difficulties and recovering from the bitterness in the mouth for the defeat of game 3 with the Italian champions. At the “Steno Borghese”, the Lazio, reworked by important farewells and many absences, will, as always, rely on the arm of Federico Peccianchor of the mound of Neptune and one of the best throwers of the Scudetto poule, expected in the two-on-one match between Diego Fabiani e Mattia Aldegheri (both used, with satisfactory results, for a prominent inning against Bologna), while a But Hamaya e Moses Colasant it will be up to the task to contend with Email Montilla and one between louis lugo e Marc-André Habeck. To evaluate the conditions of Sebastiano Poma (ended on the bench on Wednesday due to a back problem) and di Giulio Monello while Gianguido Poma finds again Ezekiel Talevireturned from South America, and focuses on the excellent state of form of the flag Stefano Desimoni.
