Baseball Serie C: Extract Siena, thud to Neptune

The only positive note of the trip to Neptune is the excellent debut, in defense, of the latest arrival at Juventus, Alejandro Fernandez Matos, under 23 of Italian nationality born in 2005, former Arezzo, first author of a good hold on the left outside on a sprint of sacrifice by Fichera and then, above all, of a stupendous hold, running and at the fence, at the end of 5 ‘, on a stick by Ciarla, which takes away from the latter the joy of the home run and delights the audience with a hold worthy of the Major League, a hold that would be worth the price of the ticket, so much so that the young Juventus player was applauded at length by the audience, his opponents and teammates.

Manager Barroso has decided to start with Selmo as a starting pitcher. A choice that surprised most, given that the AFI Dominican pitcher was perhaps one of those most in difficulty in this start of the season. The fact is that on the Sienese mound – with the exception of Bonilla, closer to 7 ‘- there is to be identified a pitcher who against the powerful Neptunese attack has pulled out his best repertoire: a few crazy pitches too many and the first eliminations to the pot. they arrived at the very last round before the suspension for manifest, when the result was already established at 17 to 0, with the Juventus closer Miguel Bonilla on the mountain. For the rest, too many ball bases (4 granted by the starter Selmo, 3 by the Castillejos relief, 1 by Paulino Sanchez, who also had a hit) and above all a devastating attack by the opponents, capable of scoring 15 valid beats, among the which there are two double and one triple.

All this despite the absence of the former Serie A Ennio Retrosi and with the other former top-flight player, Mirco Caradonna, who only entered the final, without even having the opportunity to take a bat.

If the performance of the black and white mound was not exciting and in the batting box the Estra was unrecognizable compared to the last few races, the Lions Nettuno demonstrated solidity on the platform with 4 strike out made by the starter Pouye and with an absolute performance level of relief Ciarla, author of 10 pot eliminations in four innings launched.

The Lions, supported by their very warm audience at the “Fausto Camusi” stadium located inside the Santa Barbara complex, with the victory against Estra have definitely put a tombstone on the championship. Latina, who with the victory in Montefiascone took back the second place, Arezzo (defeated by surprise in Grosseto by the Junior) and, in fact, Siena, who slipped to third place, do not seem able to worry the Neptunese team for the group win and access to the playoffs, even if there is still one day to go until the classic mid-season “turning point”.
