The dreams of promoting Sacco Legnano, defeated both in Game 3 (3-2) and Game 4 (16-7) on Saturday evening at the Peppino Colombo Stadium, a field where he had always won in the regular season, shattered in the semifinal against Macerata. and on which he hoped to close the accounts victoriously after the 1-1 achieved last week in the Marche.
Unfortunately, however, the evening got off to a bad start, with Ben Karim struggling on the platform against the fearsome guest attack, able to break the deadlock in the second inning with the usual Gioia Tittarelli. In the lower part, Sabrina Monti managed to equalize the score, for a 1-1 that lasted up to the fifth inning, thanks above all to the many men left behind by Macerata. In two attacks, however, the guests scored as many points, putting the red and white back to the wall. With the heart Sacco Legnano reopened the games on the last occasion: Klara Hudikova pushed Carlotta Andorno (already a prominent protagonist) home but it was not enough because the expert pitcher Luana Luconi closed the game 3-2.
By winning game 4, our girls could have played everything on Sunday morning but collapsed in a one-way match: Macerata, still taking advantage of the difficulties of the opposing pitchers, immediately flew to 4-0, effectively mortgaging the qualification. Gosselin with a very deep double in the third inning sketched the reaction worth the 4-3 but in the subsequent attack six guest points closed the scores. Six points repeated in the fifth inning for the 16-7 for manifest superiority that ended the season of Sacco Legnano.
