The good season of October is favoring the Winter Leagueborn this year among the senior teams of Lazio, both Serie C and Serie B, who had finished their regular season at the end of July.
Among other things, the presence of Lions Nettuno and Cali Acilia (series B) and the winner of the series C championship, the Dolphins Anzio, significantly raised the level of the matches, constituting a valid test for the yellow-greens.
The club took this opportunity to experiment with the inclusion of new elements, both from Grosseto and from Viterbo and Rome, with the addition of the young Dominican Yael Mendez, who played shortstop for the entire match against Anzio, also beating two valid, as did the expert Bryan Gomez and Pacchiarelli. Manzi, Ceppari, Andrea Tabarrini and Aprile also hit one hit each, for a total of 10 hits, compared to 8 strikeouts suffered and 7 base balls.
Although any evaluation could be premature, it seems that these additions could be a prelude to a complete renewal of the team’s squad in 2024, limiting the problems of absences that occurred at the end of last season.
The game didn’t start well last Saturday: in the second inning i Dolphins Anzio they took off scoring 6 points thanks to a series of valid and even lucky hits, along with two bases on balls and a defensive error.
But from the third inning the comeback of WiPlanet began, which, after having missed a great opportunity to tie in the 5th inning with the bases loaded and zero outs, reached the Tyrrhenians in the 6th thanks to a triple by Pacchiarelli that brought home Carletti, Mendez and Russo, and then took the lead 7 to 6 thanks to a wild throw. Score that remained unchanged until the end of 9 innings.
In the other match, Lions Nettuno beat Cali 8 to 7, so that now the ranking sees WiPlanet first with two victories, Lions and Anzio follow with a victory and a defeat, while Cali Acilia closes the ranking, having lost the two matches played.
“The team on Saturday was a bit restructured with important absences – declared President Tabarrini -. The starting pitcher, after a scoreless first inning, suffered a decline, also favored by defensive errors and some lucky hits, conceding 6 points. But the team reacted with patience, helped by the reliever Servodio, who in a perfect manner and aided by a good defense, pitched another 5 innings. We always remained in the game and then recovered inning after inning until we overtook 7 to 6. Matteo Carletti closed by not conceding anything anymore. We want to say goodbye to Alejandro Salgado who played his last match in Italy with the team that welcomed him years ago, a wish that he had expressed while playing in Rovigo and which we willingly fulfilled.”
