ROME – The Caserta Softball Club tuned up for the upcoming Italian Softball League playoffs by gaining possession of the Italian Cup, with a convincing 15-0 win over Fermana. 

Caserta had a much tougher time against La Loggia in the semifinal, just barely squeaking by with a 2-0 win. 

Caserta adds the Italian Cup to their war chest, which already features the 2011 Italian Softball League championship trophy. 

The 2011 IBL title will be put on the line, as the playoffs open up.

The Blue Girls of Bologna finished fourth in the standings and thus have drawn the semifinal match-up with the defending champs.  Just last year, the Blue Girls were competing in the Italian softball minor leagues, but have quickly established themselves as a contender in their first season in the “bigs”.

In the other semifinal, 2nd ranked La Loggia will meet 3rd ranked Bollate.

Both the semifinals and final will consist of a best-of-5 series.
