Jeff Farnsworth outdueled three Fortitudo Bologna pitchers to lead Danesi Nettuno to a 1-0 win in an all-Italian final game for the European Champions Cup in Barcelona, Spain last Saturday. It was the second time in as many years that Nettuno came away with the big trophy.
Bologna didn’t make it easy. Fortitudo starter Yulman Ribeiro gave up just one unearned run on three hits over 5.1 innings, while relievers Fabio Milano and Victor Moreno held Danesi scoreless. The only run of the game came in the second inning when Nettuno’s Giuseppe Mazzanti crossed the plate on a Manuel Gasparri single.
That turned out to be enough for Farnsworth, who scattered five hits and struck out 14 batters in eight-plus innings for the Danesi win. Carlos Pezzullo got the last two Bologna outs for the save.
Corendon Kinheim defeated the Amsterdam Pirates, 3-1, in ten innings to take third place in the two-day tournament. Kinheim’s Danny Rombley whacked a two-run homer in the top of the tenth to break open a 1-1 game, and reliever Robin van Eis held Amsterdam scoreless to earn the win.
