Italy's Under-18 National Team remains on top of Europe. In the championship game in Prosecco, the Azzurri defeated Germany 6-4 in a hard-fought contest marked by a few mistakes. Manager Guglielmo Trinci's team once again demonstrated its resilience, overcoming adversity and responding when it mattered most.
Italy reached base in the opening inning when Elia Plusigh advanced on a dropped third strike. He moved into scoring position thanks to two wild pitches by German starter Moser, but both Suarez and Prizzon were retired to end the threat.
