Italy, in the match 4, in group B for the European Baseball Championship, Eurobaseball, defeated Ukraine by 0 runs to 13, in an easy match for the Italian team that finished the match with a difference by the end of the 8th inning. The match between Ukraine and Italy didn’t tell a story. The Italian, candidates to dethrone Holland, won easily, without effort, achieving up to 17 good hits while their rivals only managed 1. A home run by the Italian player Laidel Chapelli, in the 5th inning, which started with 0-2, forced the scoreboard up to 0-4, the Italian offence finished off the inning with two new scores that left the match sentenced, if it wasn’t already. Ukraine tried in every way to put a pitcher on each on of the 5 first innings, but the effort was in vain as the rival was clearly superior as was shown by the fact that the Ukrainians didn’t reach the first base until the 6th inning, when the Italian defense made an error on the 2nd cushion. Oleksand Trofymenko was the lucky one who made the "historical" play that received applause from the team’s dugout. |
