Softball, another victory is enough for Forlì to win the playoffs
Forlì ha una novità importante. Entra nel roster la nuova lanciatrice americana, Samantha Sheeley, che per la parte finale della stagione va a rimpiazzare l'olandese Leonella Elizabeth oggi peraltro infortunata. Raccomandata fortemente da Sarah Pauly (che ha lanciato per Forlì nel 2019), la Sheeley ha avuto una eccellente carriera al college con Emporia State, con cui nel 2008 ha giocato le World Series di division II Ncaa. Ha poi proseguito per due stagioni nei Pro della National Pro Fastpitch League, prima con le Rockford Thunder e poi le Tennessee Diamonds. Dal 2011 si è dedicata in prevalenza all'attività di coach, a Wichita State e a Cal State Northridge. Inutile nascondere che le manca il clima agonistico, ma l'arsenale tecnico è intatto: le sue qualità (lanci effettati, controllo eccezionale) e soprattutto la sua motivazione hanno fatto cadere su di lei la scelta del Softball Forlì. Sheeley avrà subito il battesimo nel match serale, e contro un pitcher della forze di Knudsen sarà veramente un bel duello e un interessante banco di prova. Nel match pomeridiano invece il duello di lanciatori italiani sarà fra l'azzurra di Forlì, Cacciamani, e l'azzurrina Nannetti, argento ai recenti Europei Under18 disputati il mese scorso a Praga. -- Forli Today, Italy (in Italian)
