Joensuun Maila v Sotkamon Jymy



Joensuun Maila v  Sotkamon Jymy 

28th June 2019

JoMa’s offence exploded in the 2nd inning scoring 4 runs. JoMa displayed some great athleticism in defence and denied Jymy the chance to put runs on the board in the first or second vuoro. In the third vuoro Jymy managed to narrow the deficit when Joni Rytkönen launched the ball into space and scored a kunniajukso (home run). Jymy’s attempt at a rally was cut short when Roope Korhonen failed to bring Joni Rytkönen and  Lauri Rönkkö to score from third base and were put out at home. JoMa added some insurance Despite their best efforts, Jymy were unable to overcome the deficit and fell short in the 4th inning. JoMa won the first jakso 5-3.

In the second jakso however Jymy seemed to have found their stride and they quickly built up a lead, scoring 3 in the first inning. Jymy continued to score as the innings rolled on, extending their lead to 6-1 in the third inning. The task was just too much for JoMa who managed to narrow the gap to 6-3, but Matias Litmanen’s kinniajukso added an insurance run to ensure that Jymy won the second jakso 3-7, forcing the supervuoro.

JoMa scored 1 run in the supervuoro thanks to Aleksi Rautiainen bringing home Lauri Kivinen; however Jymy continued to score and brought 2 runners home to win the match thanks to Roope Korhonen and Lauri Rönkkö who otherwise had a somewhat muted game.

Sotkamo Jymy have regained their spot at second in the table behind Vimpeli with games in hand. Joensuu Maila remain at fifth in the table, 5 points ahead of sixth.

Score - 1-2s (5-3, 3-7, 1-2) Sotkamon Jymy wins in supervuoro

Playoff previews 2021: Semifinals

Image
The semifinals promise to be action packed and full of surprises… The first round of the playoffs are now over and the semifinals are set. Here is my preview of the last 4: (1) Manse PP v (4) Sotkamo Both of these teams played a tough series to reach the semifinals. Manse almost became the victims of a surprise series win by IPV; however Manse came back from losing their opening 2 games and won in 5 games. Sotkamo’s road to the semifinals had a substantially more threatening roadblock in the form of a hungry Joensuu side. If JoMa had home field advantage for the series, or the ball had bounced a certain way, this semifinal would look very different. Sotkamo’s regular season games against top 4 sides were not great and they lost more games than the other 3. Despite a dazzling performance at Kaupi on 30th July, Manse still got the better of the reigning champions in their most recent matchup. Manse now have to prove that they are the championship contenders they claim to be. Expect th

Finals review 2021

In 5 games we were treated to some tense games and superb defence, but in the end Manse PP managed to break through and seal their first men’s championship in the club’s history in a 1-0 win over KPL. Manse finished top of the league in the regular season and soon became favourites to reach the final; however they were soon faced with elimination from the playoffs when they unexpectedly lost the first 2 games of their quarterfinal series against IPV. In the end, neither IPV or reigning champions Sotkamo could stop the star-studded team from securing their first final in only their second season in Superpesis. In my predictions going into the final, I struggled to pick a clear winner, but ended up backing KPL. At that point, I was convinced that Manse hadn’t reached their true potential this season and thought KPL would exploit that. A few weeks later and it seems that Manse did indeed unlock their potential and showed the strength of their defensive game in ways we rarely got to se

Playoff previews 2021: the final

Can KPL go all the way this season and take gold in their second consecutive final? After some intense semifinal series, the finals are set, with Manse and KPL in search of gold, whilst Vimpeli and Sotkamo go head to head for bronze. The post season so far has been one of the most thrilling and exciting in recent memory, now we will we if Manse’s big spending can pay off, or whether KPL can end their long wait for a championship… (1) Manse PP v (3) KPL This has been the toughest series for me to predict so far. Both teams are worthy champions this year and I have gone back and changed my mind several times. Manse beat Sotkamo in 3 straight games, but it was far from being an easy series. The first 2 games went to a scoring contest! Manse executed their game plan well to defeat the reigning champions, but some uncharacteristic errors (like Puhtimäki walking in a run in game 1) that made things harder than they needed to be. In a scoring contest, Manse probably has the best batting a
