After the Poule baseball championship, the official pairings of the quarter-finals of Serie A have been decided: Hotsand Macerata – Big Mat Bsc Grosseto, San Marino – Comcor Modena, Nettuno 1945 – Parma Clima, UnipolSai Bologna – New Black Panthers. The best-of-5 quarter-final series will kick off on August 15. Game two will take place on the 16th and game 3 on the 19th. Any subsequent games will instead be played on the 20th (game 4) and 21 (game 5). For the red and white team, the commitment is really prohibitive: in fact, Macerata won their twentieth match out of twenty-two played on Saturday evening proving that they have a really important pitching mound and also an attack and that they want to have their say in this championship even in the challenges that will award the Scudetto. But the satisfactions for the red and white colors certainly don’t stop with entry into the playoffs. This morning at 10, at the Diving Ducks in Wiener Neustadt, Austria, the 4th European U23 baseball championship kicks off, with Italy engaged against France. The boys coached by the manager Alberto D’Auria show up at the start to improve on the third place of two years ago in Veneto, gained due to the narrow defeat (1-0) against Germany in the semifinals. A knockout that still burns and that the Azzurri will try to avenge: “Redeeming against the Germans is definitely in our thoughts and it’s definitely better to face them in the elimination round than in the semifinals – says D’Auria – But first we have to think about France; it will be a good test, which we will face at an unusual time. Watch out for Belgium as well”. The starting pitcher will be one of the veterans of the 2021 expedition, Mattia Sireus of Big Mat Bsc Grosseto, born in 2002, with a record of 6-3, 3.77 in the league. Together with the red and white pitcher, the other two “Maremma” pitchers, Marco Artitzu and Ion Doba and the winger Niccolò Cinelli are also part of the expedition.
