The Nettuno 1945 continues the fast journey towards the Scudetto poule, winning both derbies with theAcademy without great effort. Behind there is only the Paternal to chase and hope, after the “double” a Montefiascone. Group H divided in half, with the domination of the team of Guglielmo Trinci who does not have to try too hard to get the better of both matches played at the “Steno Borghese”. In race 1 (won 10-3) there is an initial fear, because the Academy takes the lead in its first attack – with loaded bases and one hit – but it is a flash in the pan because Mazzanti and his teammates with 8 hits and 10 bases granted by opposing pitchers, make the most of every opportunity. Of note in the box for 1945 the 2 out of 4 of the aforementioned Mazzanti and the 2 out of 5 of the right winger Baldazzi who also beats the first career home run in the top flight. Before him, Federico Giordani had also sent the ball over the fence. Winning pitcher Teran, loser Colalucci. In race 2, however, the 4 points scored at the first attack are enough to lead the match into port without worries. The 3 out of 5 of Noguera in the box should be noted, but it was on the mound that 1945 dictated the law: 16 k and just 3 valid conceded. The winner is Liguori (8k for him in 6 innings) the salvation is by Heyer who in the remaining 3 rounds left 8 of the 10 men faced.
In Montefiascone, on the other hand, the Red Sox from Paternò pass twice, with convincing evidence both in the box and on the mound. The gap is there and you can see, race-1 ends 7 to 0 and for the Sicilians there are the capital tests of Hatma (3 out of 3) and Aroche (3-4), while for the Lazio players the only one is saved Winners with 2 out of 3. Sciacca is the winning pitcher, Andretta is the loser. The second match was more fought (3-0), but Paternò took advantage at the right moment of the decline of the hosts and between the sixth and seventh inning he secured the result, complicit in both cases the errors of the defense as well as the valid jokes. The only two hits from the hosts who would have the possibility of reopening the match if there were not an elimination from the left outside in third base of the Wiplanet runner also arrive in the seventh. Winning pitcher Hernandez who leaves the opponent’s attack dry for six rounds (also making 8 K). Garcia Del Toro gets the salvation, which concedes the two hits of which we have said, but also leaves 5 opponents at the pot.
