Next round of Serie B at the gates and at Piacenza Baseball home it is urgent to recover morale and positions in the standings. After the two consecutive away matches on the fields of Codogno and Avigliana, which ended with diametrically opposite results, the red and white will host the Catalana Alghero on Sunday 8 May at De Benedetti. The Sardinian team is equipped with a very high level pitching mound, captained by Yovany D’Amico, a well-known face of the Italian top flight with important past in IBL and Serie A1 between 2008 and 2017. Thanks to the pitchers department, the blues and whites have centered four consecutive successes after the slow start at Ares in which they were defeated in both matches, thus climbing a ranking that is expected to be very short until the end of the regular season.
The double success of Catalana against Junior Parma, combined with the tie of Codogno-Ares and of Fossano-Milan and the double defeat of Piacenza in Avigliana, completes the picture of a fairly surprising weekend but up to a certain point, in how much the level of competitiveness of Group A was predictable from the beginning and the results gained in the first three rounds are providing the necessary evidence to support the thesis even more. In the red and white home, as mentioned, a jolt is needed because we have gone from a Sunday in which everything turned out wonderfully (transfer to Codogno) to a Saturday in Avigliana in which instead everything went wrong. The air of home and the confrontation against a listed opponent could be the right opportunities to recover in view of the rest of a season in which you will have to give your best in every situation if you want to hit the playoff goal. The appointment is therefore on Sunday on the diamond in via delle Novate at 10.30 for the start of race one, with race two scheduled for forty-five minutes after the end of the first meeting.
