With an amazing one Pedrol on the mountain and the winning hit by Diaz in the 1st extrainningThe San Marino Baseball “Nino Cavalli” wins the day Parma and wins race1 For 1-0. It is a match based on a great duel of pitchers, which opens the series of the last first leg. The 0-0 holds until the 8th, then the guest’s attack makes itself felt on Casanova and hits the winning point, which is then saved by Kourtis in the bottom half. The winner is a fantastic Pedrol, who allowed three hits and two base balls in his seven innings, with eight strikeouts. Salvation for Kourtis. Seven valid threes for San Marino. 2/3 for Tromp and Diaz.
THE NEWS. Pedrol is perfect for three innings, while Casanova is initially touched here and there by the San Marino attack: in the 1st with Tromp’s single, in the 2nd with Angulo’s, in the 3rd with Diaz’s and in the 4th with Pieternella. Always a man on base, but never generating further danger and chances to score. In the 4th, Parma also begins to get on base thanks to Angioi’s hit and the base ball to Noel Gonzalez, but Pedrol promptly closes without danger. In the 5th the home team puts the men on the corners with two outs, but Flisi immediately afterwards raises a pop towards Angulo and is the third out. The game flies towards the 7th without any shocks and, even in the final inning, the two pitchers dominate without conceding anything. We go to the 8th, with Lopez immediately scoring an important single and Ferrini moving him to second with a bunt. On the hit of a timely Tromp, Lopez tries to run home but is eliminated. It’s not over, because Diaz, immediately afterwards, touches the ball to the left which means the first score and therefore 1-0. A gift to keep close. That’s what Dimitri Kourtis does, who first puts Monello on base in the 9th and then sees the home attack try the bunt with Flisi. Successful goal, Monello in second and only one out on the scoreboard. Kourtis is unfazed, with Angioi eliminated at first and Desimoni throwing the third strike in vain. It ends here, with the great victory for San Marino.
