Itas Mutua away in Reggio Emilia

ROVIGO – After the prohibitive trip to the Parma diamond, Itas Mutua Baseball Softball Club Rovigo returns to Emilia to challenge Palfinger Reggio Emilia. The double challenge scheduled for today, Saturday 29 April, with race one at 3pm and race two at 8pmis valid for the third day of the qualifying group B of the Serie A baseball.

This is the first engagement of a triptych of matches that will define the qualifying grid: the first two of each group will continue with the objective of the Scudetto, the others will access the Poule Salvezza. But the injury situation is more worrying than the classification calculations at home. In the last few days, the situation has become even more complicated for coach Fidel Reinoso, who has never managed to have the entire squad available so far. Pietrogrande will be out for almost a month. Out also Salvatore and Frigato. Giacomo Taschin is trying to recover in time, while even the expert pitcher Crepaldi doesn’t seem to be in the best condition. In order to be able to present itself in Reggio Emilia with a numerically adequate roster, Rovigo had to draw from the Cadet formation of Serie C: two young rossoblù aggregated to the first team.

Palfinger, which also includes the former rossoblù Angelotti, is a solid team, enriched by the contribution of many community players. In his debut he lost two games against Ronchi dei Legionari, then scored a draw against Collecchio. So far, therefore, the schedule is identical to that of Itas Mutua Rovigo. For the people of Polesine it will be necessary to make a virtue of necessity, playing openly and without any fear.

As for Serie A2 softball, tomorrow, Sunday 30 April, the home debut for the girls of the Baseball Softball Club Rovigo is scheduled. Longbridge Bologna arrives in via Vittorio Veneto: race one at 11, race two to follow. After the draw at Castions di Strada and the subsequent rest session, the rossoblùs will try to move their ranking in an important way to start building a path that points straight to playoff qualification, an objective already achieved last year. For the coaches Javier Pino Soto, Adriano Morabito and Cristina Pollato no training problems: all the Rovigo “Gilrs” are available.
