The second half of the regular season in the Italian Baseball League began this weekend. Leader Unipol Bologna remains in first place after winning two out of three games against Cariparma Parma, splitting the Parma portion of the series. T&A San Marino follows in second place after the sweep over Novara United. The first two 2-1 wins were closer as expected, as the eighth-ranked club hoped for the upset. The top duel between Danesi Nettuno and Telemarket Rimini ended with a series win for Nettuno. The Pirates only were able to avoid the sweep with a 4-0 shutout in the night game on Saturday. Grosseto Baseball took two of three from the De Angelis Godo Knights, solidifying seventh in the standings.
