The top Serie A baseball championship is about to start: on Saturday, in fact, Hort @ Godo will start with the double home match at the ‘Casadio’ against New Rimini at 3.30 pm and 8 pm. Hort @ played 4 friendlies in the pre- championship with Torre Pedrera Rimini and twice with San Marino (formations that he will find in group C). These races have shown that the team still has to find the rhythms of the match and with the new rules starting with the handbrake on could represent a serious handicap. It becomes essential to immediately find the right approach to try to take advantage from the very beginning. This first phase in group C sees involved in addition to the two teams mentioned: Crocetta Parma, Sala Baganza, Modena, Torre Pedrera and Longbridge Bologna. The first two classified will access the upper part of the scoreboard for the rest of the championship. The courses will differ between the championship and the Italian Cup depending on the placement. For Hort @, hitting the goal of the first 2 places becomes a priority and on paper the most formidable opponents are San Marino, seeded like Godo, and Modena. From the Byzantine franchise, 5 players will be added to the first team: Orselli, Piolanti, A. Casadio, Cristian and Filippo Laghi.
For the first match on Saturday, the ball for the first throw will be entrusted to the expert Galeotti who has already shown in the friendlies to be in good physical condition, which leaves manager Stefano Naldoni calm and on the challenge with the Rimini team says: “I’m confident to get 2 successes but you always have to deal with the opponents “.
Many reliefs were alerted: Piumatti, Canellini, Sabbadini, Focchi, Cristian and Filippo Laghi. The challenge of the foreign pitcher will see the Venezuelan Del Toro take to the platform. Behind home base will be used: Sabbatani, Evangelista with the young Matteo Casadio (16 years) aggregated to the first team. For the interiors there could be a ballot for the first base cushion between Monari and Bucchi, should Galli not be available; Bucchi in second base (Orselli, Piolanti and the Venezuelan, with community passport, Vallejo (utility that can be used in several roles; shortstop Luca Servidei, his brother Marco in third base. The outsiders will see in the center the veteran Tanesini on the left Davide Meriggi and on the right his brother Giacomo. The role of the designated hitter will be entrusted to those who have no defensive commitments. The Achilles heel of the Hort @ seems to be the batting box where Naldoni expects to have valuable contributions from all over the roster.
