EXL: Hluboká came from behind against Draci. Run feast at Tempo

There were three games played in Extraliga TOP 6 on Sunday. The games offered almost 50 runs, with the game at Tempo showing an unusual offensive outing.

The winner of Eagles-Arrows series was to be decided at Eagles Park. Arrows took an early lead and they kept it till the end of the game. In the sixth inning, their bats exploded, scoring six runs and taking a substantial lead. After the win Arrows are 4-2 and they share the first spot with Draci.

If you were at Tempo on Sunday, you saw an unusual number of runs, 30 altogether, and the home win. Despite the final result, Tempo was 3-8 behind their opponent after five innings, but they kickstarted their bats afterwards, adding 14 runs in three innings and snatching the lead. Marek Minařík helped his team with two three run homeruns. Matěj Pláteník added second HR in his Extraliga career. Even four hits from Lukáš Trunkát and David Fiala weren’t enough for Hroši. This team, they paid for poor pitching, Lukáš Hlouch allowed 9 runs in 5.1 IP. Michal Puškár who followed didn’t do much better, allowing 6 runs in 1.2 IP. Tempo swept Hroši and they improved their record to 4-3.

If the reigning champions have a weak spot in TOP 6 this year, it’s the bullpen. This showed on Sunday, when even the great performance from David Mergans, who only allowed 1 run in six innings, wasn’t enough to get them the win. Draci scored three times before Mergans went down, but former Draci player Wesley Roemer wouldn’t allow more runs scored.

Home team had an excellent eight inning, where they loaded the bases with no outs against Jan Nebenführ. They got three runs from the inning and took the lead. Draci only had half of the inning to get the lead back, but they were unsuccessful and Hluboká took the last game of the series.
