TELEMARKET RIMINI and T&A SAN MARINO, which both have 7-5 records in fourth and fifth in the standings, open week five of the Italian Baseball League with games against DE ANGELIS GODO and CARIPARMA tonight.
RIMINI won two out of three last weekend against SAN MARINO and hopes to continue their march to the top. They are heavily favored against GODO, which lost the first twelve games of the season. PARMA which lost all three games to NETTUNO hopes to get back on track to close the gap up to the front. They have a golden opportunity, as they are playing the team right in front of them.
On Friday the other four squads resume their schedule too, with the clash between MONTEPASCHI GROSSETO and FORTITUDO BOLOGNA the highlight. These will be three intense and interesting games.
