The biggest bang of the early season was seen in Kitro, when the home team Alajärvi Ankkurit, still the jumbo of the series, beat their neighbor Vimpelin Veto.
Superpesi’s top game on Thursday between the teams of Joensuu Maila and Kempeleen Kiri was a display decided by the breakthroughs of the away team, which had risen to the top of the league. JoMa led the opening period with four runs, but lost 0–2 (4-6, 2-7).
– In addition to the weather, three points are also warming. We got the game open with some flips and then went on our way. Perttu Ollin the councilor lit us up, emphasized the weekend’s East-West-bound KeK locker Jani Lassila.
The hero of the opening period was Olli, who scored 1+2 runs from the triple trap in the tying situation of the third inning, 4-3.
– Warming up from a four-run deficit in the opening inning. I told the batsman that I was going to hit the bow, but Juhani Ojala did not give permission. I tried the second side first. Then it crashed into the center stick, when I changed direction to the third side, Olli, who was looking for handsome diving booths, purred.
The second episode was practically decided by a joker Matti Korhonenwhose four-run worth Kumura sank a triple Konsta Piironen forward and over. In the away game, KeK’s number one salter had burned six forwards Tuomas Jussila.
The biggest blow of the early season was seen in Kitro, when the home team Alajärvi Ankkurit, still the jumbo of the series, beat their neighbor Vimpelin Veto by two points 1–0 (1-0, 3-3). The win snapped AA’s 16-game losing streak in back-to-back regular season meetings.
