1979 European Baseball Championship
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1979 European Baseball Championship was held in Trieste and Ronchi dei Legionari, Italy. Italy won their third consecutive championship in a row, defeating The Netherlands in a best-of-five games final. Four teams competed, the fewest number of teams since the 1960 championship. The same four teams would return in 1981.
Dave DeMarco, an Italian-American who played college baseball at Dartmouth, was the tournament MVP for Italy, batting .385 with 12 runs batted in.[1][2]
