Piacenza Baseball crashed against the leaders, suffering a 12-0 defeat in the only match that the weather allowed to be played. The red and whites showed up in Val Susa much changed and therefore with limited possibilities of subverting a rather categorical prediction.
The rest was done by the league leaders who confirmed all their potential on this occasion too. Everything is decided in the first inning: Avigliana unleashes his guns with three singles and 2 doubles to which are added the two bases conceded by Lovattini and a defensive error which makes the deficit even heavier. At 8-0 the game cools down. The hosts will no longer press on the accelerator (despite finding 4 more points which ensure their victory in the 7th due to clear superiority) while Piacenza remains annihilated and responds with two isolated arrivals on base in seven attacks (Calderon hit in the 2nd and Loardi is the only one able to note a hit on the score in the 4th). And there isn’t even time to plan an unlikely rematch because an hour before game 2 a storm floods the diamond, forcing everyone to head to the locker rooms prematurely.
