SIENA. While BC Siena was finishing the preparation for the match on Sunday 29 against the leaders Lions Nettuno, the official communication of the Match Organization Commission arrived: the match between the bianconeri and the leaders has been postponed due to a Covid case inside of one of the two teams. “As required by the FIBS Competition Behavior Protocol regarding the detection of COVID positivity cases within a team, we inform you that the ESTRA SIENA BC – LIONS BASEBALL NETTUNO ASD match, scheduled for 08/29/2021, is postponed. The rescheduling date will be communicated later “.
In the event of a positive result found during the pre-match week, the FIBS Protocol provides that “The athlete concerned must be isolated immediately and must follow the procedure provided for by the national health system. The team with the positive case (s) will have to subject all players and staff who have had contact with the positive subject (s) to the molecular swab in the 72 before the game. If a total of 5 players from the roster sent to the Federation and published on the federal website in the case of baseball teams are positive, the match cannot be played., which will be postponed to a date identified by the COG. Otherwise the match will be played regularly ”.
A big problem to think that Scialoja can host for the first time a team of the Italian “City of Baseball”, given that the Sienese team will play 5 against Arezzo (in Arezzo) and 12 at home with Montefiascone (recovery of a tender postponed to July). The playoffs of Serie C will begin on Saturday 18 July, which will see the Lions Neptune engaged, by now mathematically certain of the victory in group N, having won all the games played so far, but decimated by Covid. Everything suggests that Siena – Neptune is not recovered as it is “irrelevant” for the purposes of the final classification.
“The Siena Baseball Club wishes the Lions players to overcome this difficult moment in the best possible way and the Lazio club to face the playoffs that will be played starting from Saturday 18th September. Forza Lions! ”, Is the message published on the social channels of the Juventus club, which was welcomed in the Santa Barbara complex with great hospitality by the Lazio club.
