The historic baseball stadium reopens its doors, Serie A proposes Mediolanum Rimini against Modena

Home debut for Mediolanum New Rimini in its second Serie A championship. On Saturday (April 9) the opponent will be Modena Baseball; competitions at 3 pm and 8 pm with free admission from the adjacent access to the restaurant. In the match scheduled at 8 pm, the first throw will start from the arm of Elio Gambuti, the unforgettable Rimini baseball champion. Important is the reopening of the municipal stadium in via Monaco, affected in recent months by the works carried out by the Municipality of Rimini. The venue, the scene of legendary Rimini baseball successes, then returns to host an official match.

The opponent, Modena Baseball, is on paper the candidate together with Crocetta in contending with Godo for second place for access to the second phase towards the Scudetto. Last weekend they finished 1-1 against Longbridge Bologna, perhaps the most surprising result in group C. They are an experienced team, with many South American players and they were opponents of the Rimini team in the second phase of last season, 2-0 for Modena and 1-1 in the two weekends.

Curiosity: two sons of art play with Modena, Carlito Infante and Julio Ventura. The first is the son of Carlos and the second son of Cyprian. Carlos Infante (born in 1981) on his debut played (last year he announced his retirement) in third base, Cipriano Ventura (born in 1965) is still on the mountain and launched 4.1 shots in the match against Longbridge.

“Modena must be considered an important force in the group – says Rimini manager Mike Romano – they are practically the same as last year and therefore we will find them in the top positions of the group. It’s up to us to put the pressure on them right away, tap into the whole lineup and show the improvements we work for. Of course, the match with the foreign pitcher will be more complicated but we must always stay inside the game and take advantage of every opportunity, making as few mistakes as possible. I am a bit excited to return to the stadium in via Monaco as manager of the Rimini team, I hope that many baseball friends will come to support us “.

Alessandro Di Giacomo will start on the mound in race 1. Also in this weekend the rotations will depend on the progress of the race and will affect the start of race 2.

For access to the stadium, the legislation provides for a green pass and an Ffp2 mask.
