Two series on Saturday and two series on Sunday Serie A1 Softball: the Italposa Forlì-MKF Bollate and Mia Office Blue Girls Pianoro-Inox Team Saronno duels will give more precise indications on the playoff race, while at the bottom of the table the Thunders-Bertazzoni Collecchio challenge is key in terms of salvation, with Pubbliservice Old Parma busy on the Macerata diamond.
the diamond of Macerata (7-11) the hosts face the Pubbliservice Old Parma (1-17), desperately looking for successes to try to shorten the gap with the penultimate place. The Marche team comes from four consecutive drawn series, including the last one against Saronno from which they managed to snatch game 1, while the sweep – the only one achieved this season – has been missing since the first leg against Old Parma.
To conclude the Sunday program the Thunders (4-14) host the Bertazzoni Collecchio (4-14) for what could already be an important crossroads for salvation. Both teams are tied in the standings with a three-game lead over bottom-placed Old Parma and a possible double could change the outlook for the season. In the first leg Collecchio won game 1 with a walk-off double Alessia Colonnawhile in game 2 a comeback in the sixth attack gave the victory to the Venetians.
