ROVIGO – Homemade double slip forItas Mutua Baseball Softball Club Rovigo. On Saturday in the fourth round of Group B of the Serie A Poule Salvezza, the rossoblùs were overtaken by Tecnovap Verona in both matches of the day. The confrontation, played on the Tassina diamond, saw the Scaligeri win race one for 8-6 and race two for 11-0. However, the race towards the safety of the Polesani is not compromised and everything is still at stake.
In race one, Itas Mutua immediately starts strong and immediately finds the advantage with Nosti in the first inning. Then in the third the expulsion of Crepaldi is fatal to the rossoblù: the guests in fact pass on the home plate six times. Forced to come back, the Rovigini immediately shorten with Salvatore, then in the sixth round of attack they find another three points again with Nosti, Gonzalez and Morreale (also took over on the mountain). Verona, however, keeps its distance with two other winning races and the last point found by Sandalo in the ninth inning only serves to make the passive less heavy.

Game two was also complicated, played in the afternoon. The initial balance is broken in the third inning by the first Scala point. Rovigo, which ranks on the mountain Pietrogrande, however, he remains in the game but in the fifth round he suffers another four passes at home plate. This time the rossoblù reaction does not produce any points and Tecnovap takes off with another six points between the seventh and ninth inning, also putting the seal on the second challenge.

The full booty caught in Rovigo allows the Veronese to temporarily take the lead in Group B of the Poule Salvezza, ousting the Polesani, who are now in second place paired with Bolzano, Cervignano and Castelfranco Veneto. Lastly, the New Black Panthers of Ronchi dei Legionari. A close fight is therefore expected to win the top flight (only the last of the group is relegated) but at Itas Mutua Rovigo there is already a desire for redemption and we look to the next match with confidence and with the right determination to resume the march towards staying in Serie A.
