After Sunday’s round, Sotkamon’s Jymy is in the top spot in Superpesis, to whom Vimpelin Veto lost 1-2 at Saarikentä.
The top team of the men’s Superpesis changes a lot, but the top three of the upper secondary series are starting to separate into their own group. After Sunday’s round, Sotkamo was wedged at the top of the league, to whom Vimpeli bowed 1–2 at Saarikentä (3-2, 3-5, 1-2).
Jymy’s joker Roope Korhonen is firmly on his way to becoming the hitter king of the season after hitting two runs in both periods.
However, the winning run of the second period was overtaken by his joker colleague Veeti Koko and the runs needed to win in the home race Hannes Pekkinen and Aapo Komulainen. Jere Vikström brought Jymy two runs, but also waded after a stray throw so deep in the Savonjoki surrounding the field that he had to change his flippers to a dry version in the middle of the game.
– The water was warm, but it was also surprisingly deep. We defended well enough outside to earn the victory, Vikström grinned after the game.
Veton threw a lucky gig as a game director after a six-year hiatus Sami-Petteri Kivimäki.
The people of Kiteela robbed Manse of the top spot
Jymy took the top spot when the seventh-ranked Kiteen Pallo left Manse PP scoreless with their home win 1–0 (1-0, 3-3). KiPa’s number one hero was the top hitter who brought in two runs and a guaranteed outfielder Anttoni Jakobsson.
Kempele’s Kiri remained scoreless in their third match of the upper secondary series after losing to Joensuu Maila, who visited Sarkkiranta, 0–1 (1-11, 3-3).
JoMan Jokers Joosua Rättö (4) and Juho Toivola (3) hit a total of seven runs, bringing their team to a decisive tie in the second period.
In the lower continuation series, Imatra’s Pallo-Veikot had to settle for a point from the opening period after losing to Hamina Palloilijoi 1–2 (3-1, 1-4, 1-2).
Hyvinkää Tahko surrendered to Pattijoki Urheilijoi 1–2 (2-4, 6-4, 3-4) in Pihkalasa after the second round of the relegation competition.
In Seinäjoki, Jymy-Jussit beat their neighbor Alajärvi’s Ankkurit 2–1 (2-4, 3-2, 5-0) after the home match.
