San Marino quickly forget the stop in race 3 and conquer the “Roberto Jannella” of Grosseto by bending the Spirulina Becagli (6-0) thanks to a great start, 5 points in the first 2 attacks, which Charles Quevedo defends best with an over the top performance on the mound. The starter of the Titans, in fact, after having suffered the only valid to the first man faced, closes his 5 shots on the platform with 2 bases balls and 6 strikeouts.
In the fourth challenge of the series, the announced ones appear on the mountain Carbofor Spirulina Becagli, e Quevedo for San Marino. If Bindi does not change his lineup, Ramos puts Ferretti in third with Barcelan designated and Sarocco to receive for Biscontri, leaving Loardi out.
Jonathan Carbo’s start is uphill to say the least, taking a triple on the center-right from the titan leadoff Ferrini. It is the prelude to the immediate advantage of San Marino that arrives on the diamond beat of Angulo after the 4 balls to Celli (0-1). As 24 hours before the challenge in the land of Maremma does not lack emotions and at the change of field the Spirulina Becagli starts well and lays the foundations to chase the immediate draw with the single of Chelli and the base ball ad Albert. The red and white attack, however, gets stuck with Barcelan taken in line and Quevedo leaving both Herrera and Ambrosino to the plate.
As the law of sport often wants, Grosseto is punished in the upper part of the second attack: after the hits of Leonora e PieternellaCarbo seems to recover with 2 outs and arrives at a strike from the end of the inning, Ferrini, however, collects the 4 balls and on the following bar Celli comes the error of the Maremma defense which is worth 2 points (0-3). The singles of Angulo e Lino bring the Titans’ signatures to 5.
At this point the challenge falls asleep. San Marino tries in the fourth with the opening hits of Pulzetti and Ferrini, but Carbo immediately recovers with 3 strikeouts. Grosseto instead touches the first bag only 3 more times, in the third with the 4 balls to Ferretti, in the fifth with Sarrocco except for an error and in the seventh with Herrera hit.
At the end of the match, San Marino puts the exclamation point by signing the final 6-0 on the hit by Pulzetti with full bases.
