The program of the Super Round of the European U22 softball championship that took place in Kutno in Poland has been defined. The playoffs between the top three teams in the two groups began with France-Israel. Italy, which closed the preliminary round with four victories, ahead of France and Great Britain, debuts in the Super Round on Thursday at 6 pm against the Czech Republic, which won its group. Other matches for the Italians are scheduled for Friday at 11:15 am against the Netherlands and at 6 pm against Israel, second and third in their group. Italy finished the round robin with a batting average of 382, with 8 home runs, and an ERA of 4.67.
«Considering that this selection has no meetings before this European Championship – is the comment of the manager Federico Pizzolini in the first round – it is necessary to check the consistency of the players and the collective directly on the pitch.
It’s been a crescendo in terms of the game, from the first game against Great Britain to last night’s game against Germany, and the feelings so far are very positive”
«Thursday night, against the Czech Republic, which like us finished the Round Robin in the first place – ending the Italian helmsman – will be an important moment. The result does not compromise anything, but it will give us some clues as to where we are going. “
