Stage 1-1. Delmarva Shorebirds

Delmarva is an A-level team from the Baltimore Orioles structure. Even at the level of their league, they perform very poorly. Nevertheless, looking at the difference in skills, I was afraid of a crushing score. And the results of the first inning only increased my fears. 0:3 - an unpleasant debut for young Mamoun Boulami. But these were the last missed points for him, and his replacement Addergoole Paramita was left with 0 in the Runs column!
And in the fifth inning, the team scored its first point in history. Amedeo Marinelli became the hero. First, he forced the pitcher to let him go to first base. Then he stole the second. Well, and in the end, RBI by his compatriot Matteo Toninello allowed him to close the circle.

The match of the second group of contenders turned out differently. The first time Kosaku Nishida went to bat - a home run! The score remained unchanged until the 5th inning. David Rodney was already sitting on the bench "dry" in his dreams and... he was tired. The hits were coming one after another. The bases were full, and the count changed with each throw. In addition, Loris Locquet let him down when he dropped the ball while creating a double play. Well, and the Grand Slam from Braylin Tavera made the result absolutely unbearable. Substitute reliever Luis Fuentez repeated the result of his competitor in the position and also did not allow the opponent to score points.
