Iñaki Artola takes advantage of his opportunities. He is fresh because he has not counted for his company so far in the summer tournaments and this Tuesday has been key for Baiko to win the second summer championship in the Miribilla fronton. The agonizing victory of the Alegia forward along with Albisu by the minimum after 898 hits and 97 minutes of play, and that of Peña II against Salaberria within the Cuatro y Medio have allowed them to win the Bizkaia Team Tournament and break the tie at one registered by both companies.
Artola has put the finishing touch to the meeting of couples at the right time. He has had the necessary cold blood to finish off a dense clash in which it has been possible to see a beautiful fight between the two forwards. When the material has worn out, the physicist has entered the scene and the forward of the Bilbao promoter has known how to play his cards perfectly.
It is the same that the confrontation was complicated for them after having it more or less controlled for many minutes because his blow had more shine and his legs more ease than those of the rest, being less worn out. He has been where he had to be and he has played it bravely. The close to a thousand spectators who have gathered in the stands have been satiated with the ball after a good match by the four contenders. Each with their weapons. Those who have dressed in blue managed to get him back on track after a start in which his mistakes gave life to Altuna III and Martija. It was after the draw at five when some doubts of the Colorado defender have allowed his rivals to open a gap of seven goals in which Artola has already shown that he was inspired.
However, Altuna III has begun to come into play more, his defender has held up better, and everything has begun to equalize. The party has hardened. The goals have been lengthened. Up to 79 balls have crossed in the 13-17 that has fallen on the side of the blues after a good cut by Artola with his left foot. At this point, 665 had already been given and there was still a lot of fabric to be cut. The man from Amezketa reduced the gap to two before the mandatory second break (16-18).
The clash has entered its decisive phase in a handkerchief. The tension was cut in the air. With the most equal forces behind, Altuna III has been unleashed and has thrown the rest aware that it was time. He has moved the ball and his rivals well to equalize the match at twenty. They have even taken the lead 21-20 and have been very close to completing the comeback after Artola missed a hook to the plate. The error has not affected Alegia’s player, who has taken a drop shot and another hook to end the duel and secure the trophy (21-22).
Peña II repeats on Thursday
It was the second point for his team. The first was added by Peña II against a combative Salaberria who managed to come back from 3-11 and survive almost to the end. He has tempered the greater power of his rival based on serving better and has not collapsed when the man from Tolosa was grown and dominated the situation. But after the draw at 15, the striker from Gipuzkoa managed to perfectly manage the end of the game (18-15). On Thursday he will play the Aste Nagusia tournament again to replace Larrazabal with hand problems.
With everything decided, Elezkano II has achieved the only point for his squad after his victory (18-9) against Alberdi II in the one-on-one duel that closed the festival.
