We are already approaching the half way point of the regular season in the Italian Baseball League, as four teams kick off week seven on Thursday evening. While Montepaschi Grosseto is considered the favorite in their matchup with the Catania Warriors, the second matchup is much closer.
UGF Bologna and Telemarket Rimini will open a three-game series at the Gianni Falchi ballpark in Bologna before games two and three will be played at the Pirates Stadium in Rimini. Both clubs are currently tied for second place in the standings with identical 13-5 records, a mere one game behind leader T&A San Marino. Jesus Matos (BOL) and Jim Brower (RIM) will take the mound, which should become an interesting duel.
