The 12th of 14th weeks in the Italian Baseball League are now in the books. At the top FORTITUDO BOLOGNA lost two of three the past weekend against GROSSETO. DANESI NETTUNO in second nearly secured their playoff spot with a RANGERS REDIPUGLIA sweep. Despite the positive result, MONTEPASCHI still is not save, as CARIPARMA swept the series versus T&A SAN MARINO and made it a three-team race for the last two spots, with all three separated by just two games.
PARMA has series left against GODO and GROSSETO. The ORIOLES are also playing TELEMARKET RIMINI. SAN MARINO faces the RANGERS and NETTUNO. These are going to be two interesting remaining game days in the regular season.
