The second day of UnipolSai Fortitudo’s Poule Scudetto began with a combined shutout, Rivero-Gonzalez Polanco. In game 1 of the second round of the Poule Scudetto of the triptych with the Hort @ Godo Frignani’s men on Gianni Falchi’s home diamond started producing 2 points in the second inning and increased their advantage in the following one. The decisive blow, the Bolognese team scored in the 5th second half with a 4-point big inning that directed the match in favor of the hosts. He set the score at 8 to 0 for Lampe’s 1-point home run in the 6th biancoblu attack. Almost perfect the two Bolognese pitchers with only 2 hits conceded in 7 rounds. The home team tried to make themselves dangerous immediately, but the first points of the match came in the second half. The singles by Bertossi and Liberatore, followed by the double by Agretti, in fact earned the 2-0 biancoblu. The guest clubs struggled against Rivero (perfect up to the 5th inning) while the Bolognese attack increased his advantage in the third round thanks to Bertossi’s single that pushed Lampe (single) to the point for the momentary 3 to 0. decisive blow, Dobboletta and his companions landed it in the 5th round of play. Martini’s double ended the race of the rival Cannellini. The new pitcher from Ravenna, Laghi, granted the base ball to Lampe and Dobboletta before undergoing the singles of Bertossi and Liberatore which brought the score to 6 to 0. The base ball at Agretti filled the cushions forcing the manager of Godo Noaldoni to replace the young pitcher with the relief Galli. With full bases and 0 eliminated, Fuzzi’s sprint was worth 7 to 0. To close the match, in the following second half, Lampe thought with a 1-point home run that set the score at 8 to 0.
In the second challenge the starting pitchers are Andretta (taken over at the beginning of the third round by Crepaldi), closer Bassani in the last inning for Fortitudo and Galeotti for Hort @ Godo taken over by Sabbadini after 4.1 rounds.
To break the ice for Godo we think Luca Servidei with a double in the center that takes Andretta off guard, the beat of Sabbatani out in first pushes him to third and the subsequent single by Giacomo Meriggi scores the point of advantage for the masters of home. In the next inning, Fortitudo wakes up in the box and scores 3 points. Bologna puts the arrow on the fifth assault with 4 points by lowering the shutter on the challenge. Fortitudo scores 4 more points in the last assault.
