Cairo Montenotte. Sunday 10 April, on the Cairo diamond, began in the national championship of Series C. The Cairese addressed i Desperados of Turin.
The red and white start with Baisi on the mountain, Bonifacino to receive, Berretta on first base, Garra and Franchelli defend the second, Bloise the third, in the external field Ferruccio, Ceppi and De Bon, designated hitter Davide Torterolo. The boys from De Bon and Haces need two rounds to take the time from the Piedmontese and line up the hits of Bloise, Ferruccio and Bonifacino that allow them to score the first three points of the season.
On the defensive front, Baisi dominates the opposing clubs: his eliminations in the pot are seven. Once the inertia is broken, the game has only one direction and the hits of Ceppi, Franchelli, Davide Torterolo and Berretta also arrive, bringing the total points to 11. It is time to insert the Marenco-Castagneto battery, Bussetti in first base, Andrea Torterolo in second and Leoncini and Gandolfo outside.
Cairese closes the first race with the final result of 11 to 0 and can look forward to the next one to be played Sunday 24 April on the Mondovì diamond, formation that announces itself among the favorites and already protagonist of last season.
Unfortunate start for theUnder 15 from the Cairese who, orphan of the starting pitcher Chiarlone, had to reinvent the formation at the last minute. “Never mind starting uphill, it will certainly be a stimulus!” is the comment of the red and white technicians.
Opposite to Finale, the red and white team decides to start with Mascarino on the mountain and Bogazzi on his debut as a receiver, Gabbani in first, Parodi in second, Sara De Bon in third base, Bogliolo in shortstop, Sechi, Pacenza, Bertolini and Petianu will alternate in the outfield.
The first inning goes to the Cairese, 2 to 1 the score with Mascarino who controls the riparian clubs, but the game slowly changes direction and the guests take advantage of some indecisions of the defense to overturn the result. There are days that are born badly and even Baccino, injured in the pre-match, cannot take part in the match. In the third round, dragged by Mascarino and Bogliolo, the citizens of Cairo shorten the distance and bring the points scored to 7 against 9 in the Final. The guests do not give up and stretch again closing the game. The race is compromised and the local technicians take advantage of it to experiment with new solutions: Bogliolo, De Bon and Gabbani alternate on the mountain. The game ends 20 to 10 for the guests.
Coach Cairese Pascoli says: “We met an excellent, determined and aggressive team that dominated the match. For our part, we have not been able to react to events, but we have room for improvement and we have certainly highlighted the things to work on. Fortunately, the break will be useful to recover the convalescents for the resumption of the championship ”. Next engagement on the Cairo diamond Sunday 24 April with the second day of the championship against the Rookies of Genoa.
Bittersweet start also for theUnder 12 of Cairese, away in Sanremo, where only the result was missing. The formation saw Malatesta deployed on the mountain and Sechi to receive, Ricci in first base, Di Dio in second, Totraku in third, shortstop Aiace, Barbero, Minetti, Mallarino, Ettore Picciotto and Arianna Picciotto alternated in the outfield.
Balanced game that saw the two teams alternate in command. False start for the Valbormidesi who suffer and are overwhelmed by the Matuzians: 4 to 0 the partial in the first inning but, thanks to the validations of Sechi, Malatesta, Minetti and Di Dio in the fifth inning, the red and white go on 8 to 6. The result changes again and the hosts inexorably overturn the fate of the game once again scoring 4 points and closing with the result of 10 to 8.
Satisfaction for the coach Bellino who underlined the many positive indications, although aware of the great work that remains to be done. Next commitment Sunday 24 April on the home diamond against the Rookies of Genoa.
The next match of the Cairese Baseball Club will see an unprecedented one Under 17 in an international friendly in Cairo on Saturday 16 April against the French team of Baracudas of Montpellier.
