SIENA. Siena BSC is ready to continue its run at first place in the standings, on a day that could reserve particularly interesting surprises, given that Padule Sestese will be involved in the difficult inter-group match against Livorno, who up to now lead group K of Serie C with a clear path (5 victories and no defeats). The immediate pursuers of the leading pair of group J, Franchigia Firenze, will be engaged in Grosseto against Phoenix, Serie C finalists in 2023 and this year incredibly forced to play at .400 (2 wins and 3 defeats, including that in the intergroup remedied against the Juventus team).
The next opponent will be, in an inter-group match, the Nuove Pantere Lucca, who, on Sunday at 3pm, will face Alvarado Perez’s team on the Apuzzo diamond in Lucca. Lucca is last in group K, with a record of only one victory (against Boars Grosseto) and four defeats (3 to 14 against Phoenix Grosseto, 5 to 11 against Livorno, 6 to 11 against Massa and 2 to 12 against Sesto Marshes).
Siena and Nuove Pantere have already faced each other in mid-March, during spring training, on the diamond of San Casciano Val di Pesa, during a triangular match, in which Padule also took part. The Bianconeri won, on that occasion, 6 to 3, with Alejandro Fernandez Matos as the starting pitcher.
The Sienese team will be without receiver Dario Mancini (in his place Yeison Rosario) and Alejandro Dube, one of the best in attack, stopped due to a trauma to his right knee and on precautionary rest. To keep an eye on among the opponents are Perera, Ovaless and Barsali (the latter two pitchers).
YOUTH
Sunday at 10am, on the Castellina Scalo diamond, a new home match for the Under 12s, who will face Antella, last in group A, in an inter-group match.
