First internal appointment in the second phase of the championship for the New Black Panthers.
On Saturday at 3 pm and 8.30 pm they will meet at the Gaspardis in Ronchi dei Legionari il Platform-Tmc di Poviglio.
The Emilians finished in sixth place in their group in the qualifying phase, with four wins and ten defeats. In the last round they won in both matches against Brescia. For Ronchi Poviglio it is an absolute novelty, but undoubtedly a customer to be taken with due caution. With an overall batting average of 219, he counts as good individuals as Castillo (242), Fry (288), Minardi (333) and recently strengthened with Dutch Van Heydoorn, a very powerful slugger. As pitchers they stand out Almora e Medina.
The New Black Panthers received an injection of confidence and encouragement from the two sure victories of Cervignano, demonstrating compactness and ability to react. The attack was careful and incisive in the topical moments and the mound was adequate even in moments of difficulty.
For Saturday there are two enjoyable races between two teams that will compete head-on to win valuable points for the final standings, in a not very long tournament.
Starting pitchers for Ronchi will in all probability be Nardi e Rodriguez (currently third in terms of strike out among Serie A pitchers).
Finally, a nice initiative by the Italian Baseball and Softball Federation should be noted: an album of stickers of the players of the teams of the major series has been created. The stickers will be on sale at the Gaspardis stadium from Saturday.
The other races: Brescia – Rovigo and Senago Cervignano.
