The path of Piacenza baseball continues in the Serie B Championship.
Sunday 12 September the red and white are called to the match in Reggio Emilia on the field of Poviglio. The home team has just lost the leadership of group A in favor of Junior Parma due to the surprising slide last Sunday at Fossano, where they suffered their first double defeat of the season. Having yet to take the rest, Poviglio has only four matches available to hope to regain leadership, but at this point it becomes mandatory to win all four matches hoping for a double misstep by the Junior.
Precisely this aspect may represent the greatest difficulty that Piacenza will have to face. However, in the last rounds he showed that he constantly played with ease and that he had reached a competitive level even against the opponents better positioned in the standings. In the first leg, Marenghi’s boys obtained a deserving and clear success in race one and then surrendered, especially mentally, in race two. In light of the most recent performances of both teams, it is difficult to hazard a prediction: Poviglio has classification obligations, Piacenza wants to continue the positive streak and close the Championship by winning as many games as possible.
Manager Marenghi will certainly have to do without Simone Sanna and Simone Carnevale, both involved in the playoffs of the Under 18 categories. Heavy absences but that the depth of the squad will be able to stem with valid alternatives.
