For the U18 of Piacenza Baseball the moment of truth arrives with the prestigious national semifinal to be played tomorrow, Saturday, in Staranzano (GO). A quadrangular that will qualify only one team to the Final Four for the category championship. It will be the red and whites who will open the program tomorrow morning facing Rovigo at 10:30. A challenge with an adverse forecast, given the strength of the Venetians, that Piacenza will want to play to the end without reverential fears.
D’Auria’s team, which lost at home to Sala Baganza on Wednesday in its Coppa Emilia debut (9-8 after being ahead 7-6 until one inning from the end), will not suffer from any particular pressure as reaching the semifinals is already an excellent achievement in itself if you consider that none of the red and whites in the squad are at the age limit imposed by the category. An aspect that gives hope for 2025 even if this year they don’t want to leave anything untried, dreaming of a Final Four that wasn’t in the seasonal goals but would obviously be accepted willingly.

To make this dream come true, achieved only once in history in 2017, as mentioned, they will have to first eliminate Rovigo, who dominated in Veneto and has some Azzurri in their team. And if the prediction were to be overturned, Piacenza would have to deal with the winner between the home team Staranzano Ducks and Settimo Torinese in what would be the final act with a view to the Final Four in Parma. Dreaming costs nothing for those who can already boast of being among the top 16 at junior level.
