ROVIGO – The Serie A championship begins on the friendly diamond of TassinaItas Mutua Baseball Softball Club Rovigo. On Sunday the rossoblù host the New Black Panthers of Ronchi dei Legionari for the first day of Group C of the top national baseball series. The objective is to immediately gain points to move up the rankings and gain confidence ahead of the first away matches.
Game one will be played at 11am, game two in the early afternoon at 3.30pm. The Friulians are a team well known to coach Soto Diaz’s roster, since in the last championship they were included in the same group as Itas Mutua Rovigo. Then Ronchi dei Legionari managed to secure the pass for the Poule Scudetto, while the rossoblù closed the group in the quarter-finals and then managed to achieve a quiet salvation in the second phase of the season. Rovigo comes from a decidedly positive pre-season, during which we have already glimpsed the qualities of the new arrivals and the growth of the many young people on the roster, who given the absence of injuries will be entirely available to the technical staff. The New Black Panthers, thanks to the merger of Cervignano, have set up an entirely Italian team and aim to repeat the good year of 2023.
Also in the Rovigo group New Rimini, Farma Crocetta, Padua and Cagliari. The trip to Sardinia is one of the main dangers of the first part of the season for the Polesine team: not only due to the quality of a little-known opponent, but above all due to the logistical difficulties and costs of the long trip, the result of an unfortunate and penalizing composition of the groups. The formula chosen by Fibs for this Serie A season is quite complex. The top-ranked teams in Group B, C, D and E will play a second phase to decide who will challenge the last two teams in Group A Elite, which includes the best-equipped teams in the entire championship.
The winners and first-placed teams of the Elite Group will continue their journey towards the Scudetto with the quarter-finals, while the teams classified between second and sixth place in the four groups will be involved in the playoffs to earn their place in the top flight. After two consecutive seasons in Serie A, for Itas Mutua Rovigo the minimum objective remains remaining in the category, to be achieved as soon as possible. However, the rossoblù group is difficult to decipher and interpret on paper, so surprises could arrive and the objectives of the Rovigo roster could become even more ambitious over the weeks, perhaps aiming for the primacy of the group which would give access to challenges with the best teams of the national panorama.
