The experience of the U12 selection of Emilia-Romagna, which is part of Piacenza Mattia Agosti, continues positively, albeit with ups and downs, to the qualifications for the Little League World Series youth scheduled from 17 to 28 August in Williamsport, in Pennsylvania, in the United States. In Moergestel, a town of almost 6,000 inhabitants in the south of the Netherlands, the Emilians clearly beat Ukraine and Spain (Catalan representative). With Ukraine a 16-2 success, to which Agosti contributed in the role of left winger. For him a double in attack just before suffering a slight injury while running to base. A trauma to an ankle that led the staff to replace him in the third inning but which, in the light of subsequent investigations, will not prevent him from still being on the pitch. The Emilian representative, which acquired the right to fly to Holland for these continental qualifiers by virtue of the recent success at the tournament of the regions, then came to play with the Czech Republic for the direct passage to the final. Unfortunately with the Czechs came the first disappointment with the 1-0 defeat after a hard-fought dispute. Decisive was the point scored at the opening by the opponents who took advantage of a contract start of the Emilians in which, as in previous matches, Agosti was the owner in the role of left winger (two arrivals on the base for him against the Czechs). The defeat still does not affect the path of Emilia-Romagna which will have the opportunity to take revenge, but to achieve this they will have to win the play-off which is worth second place in the final. Potential opponents Spain or the Dutch hosts.
