NETTUNO (Rome) - Two teams of the Italian Baseball League have arrived to the final of the 2012 European Club Championship, ensuring the Cup will remain in Italy for yet another year.

In semifinal action, Bologna started off with a 4-0 shutout over France’s Rouen Huskies.  Bologna pitchers surrendered only three hits in the contest and faced just six batters over the 27-batter minimum.

Bologna only put together six hits, but capitalized on 2 Huskies errors to put across two unearned runs.

Later in the day, Nettuno left Amsterdam on the field in front of a packed Steno Borghese field, thanks to a two-out RBI single to send the only runner of the game across the plate.

Nettuno and Amsterdam were locked in a pitcher’s duel, with hitters mustering up only 7 hits between both squads.  

Bologna will have to ward off Nettuno’s home field advantage if they are to repeat as European Cup champions.

The game will be broadcast on RAI SPORTS.
