EXL: Hluboká won series against Draci

There were three games played on Sunday to finish Week 3 Extraliga. And similar to Saturday there were plenty of twists.

Sunday game was to decide who wins the series between Hluboká and Draci. The home team started James Boyce and away team Marcus Jensen. However, Draci starter fought with the strikezone from the beginning and the defense didn’t help him much either. Sokol managed to take advantage of this and scored 5 runs in five innings. In the meantime, Draci only managed one run after homerun from Michael Varga.

James Boyce threw seven innings, only allowing two runs. But team from Brno is known to fight till the last ball and they showed it here as well. Away team managed to score three runs in the eight inning. Wesley Roemer was, however, able to show several nice defensive plays in the field and Hluboká took the win in the game and the series.

Series between Hroši and Tempo knew its winner, but Prague team wanted to take at least one win at home. They managed to do so when Tempo batters found a way to score against the young Hroši pitchers Martin Grundmann, Jakub Bílek and Boris Večerka. Tempo had experienced Jake Rabinowitz on the mound, who only allowed one run in eight innings. Home team won 9-2 and now has three wins on the season. This was also only second loss for Hroši.

The game between Kotlářka and Třebíč promised an interesting duel with duo Tate Gillespie and Justin Revels starting on the mound. The first half of the game belonged to the pitchers, as both kept the game scoreless until the fifth inning. Hit by Dominik Doležal with bases loaded scored the first run for Třebíč. The teams then changed the lead a lot in the following innings. Kotlářka was able to build a cushion in the bottom of the eight, after they scored 4 runs with 2 outs. Třebíč managed to get two runners on bases afterwards, but Josef Cihlář didn’t allow them to get home and Kotlářka could celebrate the victory.
