Barroso’s boys have a lot to complain about the too many mistakes in defense and the bad day of some in the serve
SIENA. A good match between Estra Siena BC and Junior leaders Grosseto, staged Sunday afternoon at the “Scialoja” in Castellina Scalo, with the bianconeri who, after a partial loss of 8 to 0 in the middle of the fifth, managed to recover in the central part of the race, moving only one point away from the Maremma, before the Grosseto manager Di Vittorio sent Brzezinsky on the mound to close any comeback ambition for Barroso’s team.
A shame, because Barroso’s guys have a lot to complain about the too many mistakes made in defense (5) and the bad day of some singles at bat (Pichardo 0/2, Hernandez 0/2).
Siena shows up with Alejandro Fernandez Matos on the platform, in battery with Dario Mancini, Pichardo in the first, Medrano in the second, Pena in the third, shortstop Leandro Fernandez Matos, left fielder Buret, center fielder Hernandez and right fielder Deury Rodriguez. With a defense that did not help the young Juventus pitcher at all, the Junior immediately scored 3 points thanks to a powerful line outside the center of Giangrande, which went to crash against the short fence of the outside center of Castellina Scalo, scoring Piccinelli and Valdez Terrero. The third point of the Junior was scored by Benelli (valid outside center, crazy throw and catch error by Pichardo first baseman on a shot from the Juventus shortstop). At 2 ‘the Junior stretched again, taking to 5 to 0. At 3’ it was the partial he was already on 6 to 0 for the Maremma team.
At 4 ‘came the first changes at Juventus, with Alejandro Fernandez Matos moved from the mount to the shortstop, the southpaw Paul Kendrick Castillejos on the mount (entered in place of Medrano) and Paul Hendrick Castillejos in first (in place of Buret). The entry of the left-handed Juventus pitcher put the opponents in difficulty, who were no longer able to produce continuously. At the same time, in the 5 ‘, the Juventus attack woke up, taking advantage of a moment of decline of the starter of Junior Kamran, then replaced by Benelli. The hits of an excellent Dario Mancini (2/4 for him in the box), of Alejandro Fernandez Matos, the double in the center of Paul Kendrick Castillejos and that of Rodriguez Garcia, in addition to the valid on the third base of Luis Pena, eliminated while he was trying to reach second base, in an inning that perhaps could have given Siena more points than the five they scored.
At 6 ‘the Juventus team moved to 8 to 7, with another two points scored by Pichardo and Mancini, both at home on a crazy pitch. The host manager Di Vittorio, at that point, decided to bring up Brzezinsky, pitcher who this year played in Serie A with BSC Grosseto, throwing for 2.1 innings against Macerata, BBC Grosseto and Nettuno 1945. For him, in 3.1 shots fired, four strike outs and only one man arrived at base (Paul Hendrick Castillejos in the 9 ‘).
If Siena was no longer able to continue with continuity in its (late) offensive performance, it was the leaders Junior Grosseto who scored another 3 points, which represented a tombstone on the outcome of the match. All arrived at the seventh round, when the new pitcher Brzezinky, Piccinelli and Valdez Terrero hit Castillejos hard, in his only difficult moment of the day. The match ends on 11 to 7 for the Maremma, who thus consolidate the first place in the standings.
Of note, in defense, at 6 ‘and 8’ two beautiful caught stealing by Mancini in second on Foorti, and, in attack, at the beginning of 9 ‘, two beautiful flying shots by the Bianconeri Chipana (Under 18 class 2006 who, on his official debut in Serie C, he took a line from Valdez Terrero on the left outside) and Leon Chico, with the latter who, on the outside center, took a dive ball beaten by Giangrande. At the end there is also space for another Under 18, also on his seasonal debut, Giulio Corsi.
