The run of Itas Mutua Baseball Softball Club Rovigo resumes in the best possible way after the summer break in the Serie A baseball championship. On Sunday in Casteldebole (Bologna) the rossoblù clearly won the two matches played against Longbridge 2000, valid for Group L of the Poule Salvation, thus ensuring the mathematical permanence in the top national series. In fact, it is Longbridge who is relegated, and even by winning the last rounds of the phase they would not be able to detach themselves from the last place in the group. In Bologna, game one ended 16-1 after the sixth inning, game two 11-8.
One of coach Fidel Gutierrez Reinoso’s boys made a huge success in the match. Pietrogrande starts on the mound, then well detected by the returning Giacomo Taschin and Bottazzi. The rossoblù score regularly and after the third round they are already ahead 4-0. In total there will be 16 hits. It is the fourth inning to definitively close the dispute: thanks also to a home run by Sandalo, the guests arrive at home base 7 times. After a fifth inning in perfect balance, another four-of-a-kind attack arrives and sets the 16-1 that closes the match prematurely.

The confrontation played in the afternoon was decidedly more intense. Longbridge, now on the last call for their stay in Serie A, starts strong with four runs on the plate in the first round in the batting box and a further one in the second. Itas Mutua didn’t stand by and in the two initial rounds collected a loot identical to that of their opponents, leaving the match wide open. In the central phase of the match he defended on the shields, with the Rodigina one well orchestrated by the pitchers Diaz, Lorenzo Taschin and Greggio. The balance was broken by a three-run double from Longbridge in the sixth inning. But Rovigo’s reaction was imperious: thanks to Nosti’s jokes and a home run by Ascanio, the Polesine put in six points that are worth the counter pass, then close the ranks in defense, freezing the 11-8 success.
In Group L of the Poule Salvation there is also the double success of the leaders Grosseto on Tecnovap Verona. Itas Mutua celebrates salvation, the main objective of the season, and momentarily moves into second place by overtaking Turin, their opponents in the next home round which already promises to be electric. For the people of Polesine, the goal is now to close the championship with the best possible placement. The first place of the strong Grosseto seems unassailable, but in the final sprint Fidel Gutierrez Reinoso and his boys are also expected in Tuscany and will try until the last round of the club.
