In the match valid for the third day of the first leg between San Marino Baseball and BBC Grosseto, Doriano Bindi’s team prevailed in race 1. A game that has never had history and which was decided in a first inning of nine hits and seven points ends 12-1 at the 7th, with Angulo’s three-time home run in the middle (who in total has 6 points beaten at home ). The performance of the San Marino pitchers was also good, with three innings for the starter Luca Di Raffaele, two for Mazzocchi and two for Nicola Garbella (winning).
THE CHRONICLE. Nine valid for the first ten men faced by the Tuscan starter Cozzolino. The double by rule of Celli is worth 1-0, Angulo’s home run writes 4-0 on the scoreboard, Morresi’s single is worth 6-0 and the four balls to Ferrini with full bases trigger the 7-0. On the 3rd, Grosseto shortens on Di Raffaele thanks to the ball bases on Proietti Petretti and Chelli, as well as for the single by Danilo Mercuri for 1-7.
The San Marino attack returns to hit hard in the lower part of the same second half. The point of 8-1 comes on a crazy launch, the two of 10-1 on Angulo’s single and 11-1 thanks to Epifano’s double. In the lower part of the 6th the unleashed Angulo hits a double that sends Lorenzo Di Raffaele to the point, previously author of a nice double as a pinch hitter. It ends 12-1.
