With Friday's game being the last prior to Serra baseball's two-week respite from West Catholic Athletic League play, it was important to go out on a good note.
Mission accomplished. With Serra set to play in the prestigious Boras Baseball Classic of California tournament next week, Gianinno is optimistic about the return of two of his mainstay pitchers in junior John Besse and Vinnie Venturi.
Expected to anchor the pitching staff at the outset of the season, the two have been limited by minor arm fatigue. Venturi pitched two nonleague games at the start of the season, but has not pitched since March 7. Gianinno said Venturi was cleared to pitch Friday. Besse made his 2015 debut Tuesday with four innings of relief to earn the win against Riordan.
