Roope Korhonen did it again – Sotkamon’s Jymy won another final thriller against Manse | Sports in a nutshell

Jymy’s lock Aapo Komulainen is one win away from the Finnish championship, his father Jani Komulainen, who leads Mansen’s game, is three wins away.

The homecoming tactics of the Manse PP men’s team, which won the Superpesis regular season, were changed after a sleepless night in Kuopio. For seven innings on Sunday, it looked as if the people of Tampere would even out the wins in the final series as Sotkamon Jymy was a guest.

Then the homer of all time Roope Korhonen came into the inning, hit a three-run shot from second base and paced his team to a 2–1 home win (2–5, 4–2, 3–2). Jymy leads the final series with a 2–0 victory and gets the championship break on Saturday in Tampere Kaup.

– You have to chew a bit. Finally, at the last possible moment, Roope opened the taps. It’s not like our inner game is spinning, but most of the time we seem to find a way to win, surprised even Jymy’s game director Iiro Haimi In an interview with Ruutu.

– We had a good game, but the tension didn’t last until the end. Roope’s batting was all right, but it shouldn’t get three runs. There will be unfortunate mistakes. We really don’t need to improve to win, smiled Mansen’s locker Juha Puhtimäki.

Joker detectives Korhonen and Mansen Perttu Ruuska tied their duel with four home runs to a man. The solution was the success of five consecutive players from Jymy’s nine who were able to go home.

This is how the match went

In the opening period, Manse jumped out to a two-run lead with the 1st starter, when Perttu Ruuska homered Timo Torpan and Juha Puhtimäki Tomi Lehtonen.

Sotkamo got even higher when Roope Korhonen went home Elmeri Purhonen and Jussi Korhonen releasing Iivari Vihannon home from three.

After that, Manse ran away to a 5–2 period home win. Ruuska responded with two runs in the 3rd start, and hit the last run in the 4th start Henri Puputti.

In the second period, in the 2nd ending, Perttu Ruuska hit home Tomi Lehtonen. This seemed long enough, until Roope Korhonen entered the at bat in the 4th starting. Korhonen’s bunt brought in three runs, and then Alexander Huotari still brought home Iivari Vihanno. Manse got one pinch-hit run in his last inning.

Sotkamo started in the super innings. Kalle Kuosmanen, Samuel Huotari and Aapo Komulainen scored runs. Manse got to one end with Perttu Ruuska’s and Henri Puput’s home runs.

The Komulainen family will surely have a championship gold

Mansen’s game director Jani Komulainen46, won 12 Finnish championships as a player in Jymy and one Finnish championship during his five seasons as manager. He started coaching his son Aapo’s, 21, team already when he was a D-junior.

The most essential thing in baseball is the duel between the catcher and the game manager. Mark’s locker is rarely there, but no one can hide all of their tactical decisions coming from the spinal cord.

– I see certain things about Aapo, Jani Komulainen described.

The open secret of the pesispiirs is that Aapo will wear Manse’s colors next season, and Jani will continue as the team’s fan. Manse has not even informed about the use of the option of the game director’s contract, but Jani Komulainen has submitted an application for a side business license to the Sotkamo municipal board.

– I didn’t need a side business license when I was in Jymy. I got a permit for next year if I continue in Tampere, Jani Komulainen told Aamulehte.

– Two gold and one silver are on the same dining table after this season, he smiled, referring to Aapo’s girlfriend Saga-Angelia Raudasojan Mansen’s women’s team on Saturday to a guaranteed championship.

In Jymy’s joker department, Simon Kirin grew up Vertti Veitkoski19, secured his first WC medal despite playing only his second major league match.

The third meeting is ahead in Tampere next Saturday and the fourth, if necessary, in Sotkamo on Sunday.
