It's an immediate clash between the giants in Group A of the Baseball League A. San Marino welcomes Parma for a rematch of the last championship final, a challenge between two teams that are also among the main candidates for the tricolor this year together with Bologna. The game will be played in Serravalle tonight at 20 pm, while the match in Emilia has been moved from tomorrow to Sunday at 16 pm. On the mound, a great duel tonight between the San Marino Jesus Place and the ducal Erly Casanova.

"We are on the eve of a double commitment of great interest, even if it comes in the third championship - says manager Doriano Bindi, who just yesterday turned 66 -. Parma is certainly a good team, this is almost a given. We have a first opportunity for revenge compared to last year and we will try to seize it. They are strong everywhere, starting from the pitching mound. There is Casanova who needs no introduction, but there is also Kourtis who we know well here in San Marino. For him 2024 was a bad year, but he is a valuable player and we will have to be careful. Then Bocchi on the Italian mound but also a solid line-up that can hit with many men".

Among the ducal hitters, Concepcion (5/8), Mineo (5/10) and Angioi (5/13) have been in great shape so far. At home San Marino, good things from Angulo (5/12), Pieternella (5/13) and Proctor (5/13 with two home runs). The Titans have yet to know the date of the recovery of the match with Grosseto that was skipped last Monday, but in the meantime they are trying to focus on the essentials in this weekend's challenge. "At this point in the season, it would be important not to lose two, scoring a double every now and then and maybe getting a draw other times - Bindi reflects -. It's not easy to score two wins in this group, we saw that right away. The important thing is to improve week after week".
