Bologna wins 2009 IBL Championship

Bologna dominated defending champion San Marino to win the 2009 Italian Baseball League championship, the clubs 8th championship.

After taking a 2-1 series lead in three low scoring close games, the Bologna offense exploded in the final two games in San Marino, scoring 17 and 16 runs respectively and leaving no doubt about the top team this year.

Bologna tried to play the underdog card due to financial troubles throughout the season, but the team was consistently one of the top performers at every level, and specifically with an explosive offense full of stars all of whom shined when it counted most.

Claudio Liverziani was names series MVP hitting .571 with six RBIs and 7 runs scored.  Richard Austin hit .471 with two home runs and Eddy Garabito hit three homeruns as well.  Fabio Betto pitched seven dominant innings in his game 3 win, and Yulmann Ribiero picked up the win in the clinching game on three days rest.
