With two days of competition into the Tokyo Olympics. Beyond The Dugout Episode 15 features Italy’s Olympians Erika Piancastelli (C) Andrea Howard (OF).
We got to talk with these two elite athletes from the Italian Azzure national team the day before their opening match against USA, which they stocked USA by holding them to only 2 runs!!
Piancastelli & Howard give us an insight to where Softball started for them, their Italian heritage and what it means to represent Italy. You will hear about the jubilation of qualifying in 2019, and the heart-breaking moment they lost their long-time head coach Enrico Obletter earlier this year.
Piancastelli is an international superstar, named in the top 50 Women in sports by Sports Illustrated in 2020. In her time at McNeese University she broke 19 Records in Softball, in fact she achieved so much they have retired her number!!! If you want to learn how her signature leg kick gives her the title of one of the most feared power hitters in the world game, don’t miss this episode.
Howard who is completing her 5 year at New Mexico University, Is a lively character, who was a beast at the 2020 European Champs held just 4 weeks ago, sees her in the leadoff spot and one to watch for sure!!
So sit back and enjoy Beyond The Dugout with hosts Jason Gerbes aka Chopper & Damian Michael Patrick Collins bringing weekly guests from the best that Fastpitch Softball has ever seen.
