Softball A1: Rheavendors Caronno double victory, Saronno “equal” in Forlì

Mia Office Blue Girls Pianoro – Mkf Bollate

Laura Bigatton And Greta Cecchetti they win the challenge with Veronica Comar And Boil continues its march at the top of the standings. The first of two matches against Pianoro it is extremely balanced, decided by a single of Elisa Princic in the fifth inning. After a base ball hit by Caterina Binettiwho later steals second, gets a strike out for up Irene Costa; with two outs Pianoro grants the intentional base to Mikiko Eguchi: it is at that point that Princic’s action in the box becomes decisive, pushing Binetti home. A single point enough to determine the final result.

Bollate completes the double by immediately starting strong against the Cuban starter from Pianoro, Yamerki Guevara Limonta. 3 points already in the first half with a triple with the bases full Silvia Towerwhich drives home Elisa Cecchetti And Gabriella Slabawhich are also reached by Laura Bigatton on a defense error. In the third the Mkf goes 5-0 and it is Bigatton and Torre who bring it home, the first with a diamond serve and the second with a sacrifice fly. On the other hand, the pitcher is from Bollate, Alice Nicoliniholds the home bats in check with a certain ease (only 4 hits allowed), until, in the sixth, he suffers a triple Logan Moreland, which Felicia Di Pancrazio’s subsequent sprint scores; to the seventh one lead-off solo-homer Of Priscilla Brandi fuels hopes of a comeback, but Nicolini closes with two consecutive strike-outs and the game ends 5-2.

Italposa Forlì – Inox Team Saronno

With only four hits, all singles, against Ilaria Cacciamani, Saronno manages to win game 1 on the difficult Buscherini diamond. Three of these valid jokes arrive in the first half, thanks to Brown (bunt to third base), Blesa And Sara Cianfriglia who brings her two teammates home with her single. Forlì immediately closes the gap with Cacciamani’s double against Chiara Rusconi, but, despite various opportunities in the early stages of the game, the Romagna players are unable to impact the score and the cynical Saronno takes advantage of it in the third round: Marrone, won a base on balls , manages to get to the point on the next bar of Round poorly defended from the outside and allows Rotondo herself to push to third base, from where she scores the point of 4-1 on a sacrifice fly by Lozada. Forlì manages to hit validly in all subsequent attacks, but without scoring until the last inning, in which Gasparotto with a home run brings the score to 4-2but it is now too late for the hosts and Saronno thus wins the first match.

Race 2 was billed as the great duel between Kandra Lamb (Saronno) e Kelly Barnhill (Forlì) on the pitch and so it was: seven regulation restarts and not even a tie-break were enough to break the balance at 0-0. Only in the ninth round did the match resolve itself, thanks to the third protagonist of the match, in some ways the most poetic one. Returning to the field last Wednesday after the bad cruciate ligament injury suffered last season, Noemi Cortesi he couldn’t dream of a more beautiful return to friendly walls. After two games without hits, in the ninth inning with Letizia Giunchi at third base (advanced by a bounce from Cacciamani) he turned on Lamb’s first pitch to raise a deep fly ball to left on which the fielder had no choice but to make the out without managing to prevent Giunchi’s run until At home. The joy of the home crowd and of Cortesi, a talent born in 2007, explodes, thus leaving the long injury behind, giving his teammates a fundamental victory, for 1-0. Previously both Forlì and especially Saronno, who in the seventh inning found themselves with the bases loaded and zero outs, had had the chance to break the deadlock, but under pressure both Lamb and Barnhill had always been ready.
