The BBC wins race2 with a score of 8-1 thanks to a full-throttle start, with 7 runs scored in the 1st inning. Nothing to do in the rest of the match, with the only sharp attack represented by Pieternella’s solo homer in the 5th. Winning pitcher Sotoloser Pomponi.
THE NEWS. After five points in the last attack of game 1, the BBC scored seven in the first of game 2. Francesco Pomponi’s start on the mound was complicated, with the home team immediately entering the game. Tomsjansen’s double arrives, Herrera’s four balls and Barcelan’s. Martini’s single with the bases full makes it 2-0, then Garcia is hit and Noguera hits another two-run single which makes it 4-0. Bruno’s double to make it 5-0 means the game is over for Pomponi, with Luca di Raffaele taking to the mound but suffering a two-point triple from Biscontri (7-0). In the first four attacks San Marino gets on base twice, the first with Celli’s single at the 1st and the second with Angulo’s single at the 2nd. Then stop until the 5th, when Pieternella turns Soto’s throw well for the point of 1-7. At the change of sides the BBC re-establishes the distance, with the 8-1 generated by Franceschelli’s double with two men on base. The result no longer changes, the home team also wins game 2.
