U18 EC: Czechs lost to the Great Britain to start the tournament
Czech U18 team played their first game at European Championship on Monday. They started the tournament against the Great Britain.
The game was important for both teams as a potentially deciding game for who would advance to the semifinals. That’s why Brits started an American with British passport Colin Label. He threw the full 7 innings where Czechs only scored 2 runs. Both came in the 4th inning. First, after a solo homerun from Filip Kubíček, for Jaroslav Moravec to reach the home base after a wild pitch. At this point Czechs were leading 2-1.
Czech starter David Křeček threw 4 innings, where he allowed 2 innings and when Vojtěch Ventruba stepped on the mound for him the score was tied. Brits scored a run against him after a wild pitch with two outs. Another run came in the sixth inning against Jan Kozel.
Czechs lost 2-4 and they can’t now lose more games. Filip Prochádzka’s team will continue on Tuesday against Belgium.
