Third victory in as many matches for San Marino Baseball, which in Game 1 in Lastra a Signa wins by 10-3 and remains unbeaten in the lead of group G together with Grosseto (11-3 over Fiorentina). In the match to be recorded the first seasonal home runs of Federico Celli (who also has a percentage of arrivals based on 850 in the first three games) and Giovanni Garbella, the 16 valid total (three for Celli, Angulo and Giovanni Garbella) and good control throughout the match. Mazzocchi winning pitcher.
THE CHRONICLE. Double Pulzetti and base ball are not enough for Celli, on the first attack, to pass, and so at the change of field the Lancers are the first to sign up for the scoreboard. The first point of the season suffered by San Marino generated by Diaz’s double that pushes Becattini (single) home, with the reaction, however, that is not long in coming.
In the upper part of 2, with two outs and empty bases, the ball bases in Albanese and Morresi keep the innings alive. After them, with the line-up starting again, here is Pulzetti’s second double of the afternoon which is worth overtaking (2-1), Angulo’s single for 3-1 and Celli’s for 4-1.
Luca Di Raffaele, beyond the pairing of hits from the first round, leaves no room for guest batters and in his three innings he puts together 7 strike-outs before giving way to Mazzocchi.
At 3 the Titans waste with two left on the base, while at 4 they stretch in a decisive way: the inning opened by Angulo’s double and, immediately after, from the home run to the right of Federico Celli which means 6-1.
In the lower part of 4 Mazzocchi hits Diaz and suffers double the 2-6 from Baratella, while at 6 the distances are restored thanks to Reginato, single by Giovanni Garbella and defense error (7-2). At 7, Pulzetti’s sacrificial sprint sends Albanese to the point (8-2), while at 8 it is Giovanni Garbella’s turn to beat his first home run of the season, the solo-homer which is worth the 9-2.
The Lancers score their third point of the afternoon at 8 with Becattini’s hit pushing Geri home (3-9), except for an error earlier. The tenth San Marino point, finally, is the result of the base ball granted to pinch hitter Beccari on a situation of full bases at 9 (10-3).
Third victory. Appointment now at Race 2 on Sunday morning, Sunday 30 May, at 11 am.
