Vimpeli, which belongs to the top end of Superpesis, got revenge for the loss of the previous local game when they beat Alajärvi Ankkurit at Saarikent.
Vimpelin Veto defeated Alajärvi Ankkurit 2–0 (5–2, 3–1) on Monday. A week-long nesting festival is being celebrated in Vimpel, so the audience number was more than 2,500.
– It felt like there was a tight twist the whole time. A tight outside game and individual runs had to be taken. They’re not parties or anything, unless you go swimming, comments Veto’s koppari, who had to pick up the ball from Savonjoki in the last innings as well Elmeri Anttila.
Veto chose to go immediately to drum up the inside game. Matias Rinta-aho pushed the opening home run flat into the second gap. Joker Janne Mäkelä placed the back accurate ball on the middle seam. Rinta-aho also hit the winning run of the second period, but directed the ball to the second line with a pin.
The winners of the bet were the catcher Rinta-aho who scored three runs (at 5/6) and the second baseman who brought in two runs Mikko Kanala (at 5/6).
The changer who hit the river worth the run of the ball stood out from AA Nestori Yli-Sissala (at 7/8) and a two-run wild card Petteri Kortelainen (at 3/5).
There are just under three weeks left in the first series
There are three weeks left before the regular season. The last game day of the preliminary series, which is played as a double, is Sunday, July 28. After that, the 13 teams are divided into simple upper and lower promotion series.
The seven best teams from the initial series make it to the upper secondary series, so they accumulate 30 matches per team in the regular season. The number of games in the regular season for the teams in the lower secondary series of six teams is 29 games.
The last of the upper secondary series and the best three of the lower secondary series play series of matches to qualify for the quarterfinals.
The last place in the lower continuation series will drop directly into Ikköspesis for the summer of 2025. Those in 11th and 12th place will play with the best-of-five system for the place of direct survival. The loser of the match series has to be eliminated from the main series against the winner of Ykköspesis.
