In the men’s Superpesis, Sotkamo beat Hyvinkää, Vimpeli Kite and Manse PP Hamina. In women, the home advantage was the trump card on Tuesday.
Tuesday’s meeting between the men of Hyvinkää Tahko and Sotkamo Jymy’s Superpesis offered a new perspective on the game of the team from Kainuu, who had coughed up in their previous matches.
Jymy, who claimed two points in his 1-0 victory (4-1, 1-1) from Pihkala, was marked for home runs in the column of four players. Each of them scored at least one run.
Joker Roope Korhonen was responsible for the game’s winning run, but no more home runs were needed from Jymy’s power man, who leads the batting statistics. The specialty was also that the cooper Jussi Korhonen while on the sidelines for the first time in the season, he played as Jymy’s second captain Jere Vikström.
He knew that the game would go well, as long as he didn’t have to fetch balls from Pihkala’s famous transformer.
– Once I had to stay there. We survived with minor damage, although in the second period our inside game was blocked, Vikström (at 5/8) acknowledged.
Vimpelin Veto had to do a full two and a half hour job to tame Kiteen Pallo. The hosts of Saarikenttu won the three-point pot with a narrow score of 2-0 (7-6, 6-5).
The opening period ended with the tying one-run situation in the last inning, when the joker Jukka-Pekka Vainionpää runts an irresistible shot into the triple hatch. In the second period, he made the decisive difference with the opening shot of the fourth Severi Lassila when repatriating Mikko Vihriälän with a space directly from the second.
In Tampere, the struggle between league leader Manse PP and basement team Hamina Palloilijade produced a one-sided result of 2-0 (12-0, 6-0).
