Piacenza Baseball ASD Secures Double Victory Over Bovisio Buffaloes to Open Serie B 2026 Season
The 2026 Serie B Baseball season opened with a decisive statement from Piacenza Baseball ASD, who claimed a double victory over the Bovisio Buffaloes during the first day of competition. The results align with pre-season expectations as Piacenza leveraged home-field advantage to secure two wins in the opening series.
The matchup, sanctioned by the Federazione Italiana Baseball Softball (FIBS), pitted the Piacenza squad against a Bovisio side traveling from the Brianza region. While the Buffaloes sought to disrupt the early standings, Piacenza’s dominant performance ensured they started the campaign with maximum momentum.
A Challenging Start for the Buffaloes
For the Bovisio Buffaloes, the trip to Piacenza proved tough. The team, representing A.S.D. Bovisio Masciago 1980, struggled to contain the Piacenza offense across the double-header. Despite the losses, the Buffaloes remain a staple of the regional baseball scene, bringing a long history of competition to the Serie B level.
The Bovisio club is well-known for its deep roots in the community. Founded in 1980, the organization originally competed under the name “Tigers” and played its early federal Serie C matches in the hamlet of Binzago. The transition to the “Buffaloes” name coincided with a move to their current facilities on via Europa in Bovisio Masciago.
To provide some context for global readers, the Bovisio Masciago 1980 club operates a comprehensive center featuring two diamonds and supporting structures, a facility that was significantly developed in 1995 to replace the original smaller field. The club’s identity is tied to its traditional white and red colors.
League Context: Serie B Baseball 2026

The opening weekend’s results set the initial tone for the standings, with Piacenza now positioned as an early frontrunner following their sweep of the Bovisio series.
For teams like Bovisio, the season is as much about stability and growth as it is about wins. The organization continues to maintain a dual presence in diamond sports, fielding teams in both Serie B baseball and Serie B softball.
