The race for salvation gets underway for Mediolanum New Rimini which tomorrow hosts Sala Baganza in the two matches scheduled at the municipal stadium at 3.30 pm and 8.30 pm.
In the standings the two teams are divided by a victory – in favor of Mediolanum New Rimini – which, however, has one race less.
In this regard, the date of recovery with the Crocetta Parma has been set. On Wednesday 13 July at 9.00 pm the match interrupted on 29 May at 7-7 at the start of the ninth inning will continue at the Rimini stadium. The regulation provides that players replaced during the game, which was then interrupted, including pitchers, cannot take part in the match.
Returning to tomorrow’s challenge, it should be remembered that the first leg in Parma ended 1-1 (8-5 and 0-6), while in the first phase the challenge was won by Mediolanum New Rimini who won the two races (13-3 and 4-3).
Undoubtedly, the young team from Sala Baganza has made important progress since the start of the season, it has also strengthened its roster and is now playing with determination its chances of avoiding the safety play outs. The draw in the last round with Modena, after having had a serious chance to score two goals, is said to be very low on the state of form of tomorrow’s opponents.
As for Mediolanum New Rimini, the challenge is the opportunity, in the event of a double, to direct the championship towards the goal of salvation, even if before rejoicing there are still two challenges with Athletics Bologna (internal) and with Modena ( external).
The team of the manager Romano has always managed to snatch a victory from the opponents in this second phase; now there is an opportunity to hit the first double and it would be a fundamental factor.
As for the sides, the only certainty is that the starter in race 2 for Mediolanum New Rimini will be Eriel Carrillo. The Cuban’s impact on the Italian championship has been truly excellent and his performances have so far represented a solid certainty for the Rimini team.
On the other hand, for a challenge that promises to be truly spectacular, there will be the Venezuelan Francisco Sanchez who last weekend launched nine rounds against leaders Modena, contributing decisively to Sala Baganza’s victory with a performance of 134 jumps, 10 strike out, 3 bases balls and only 4 valid ones allowed.
Saturday’s matches will be broadcast live on the Facebook pages of New Rimini and Icaro Sport.
