Bundesliga halfway through it
The German Baseball-Bundesliga is halfway through the schedule and starts the return games this weekend. On Thursday the WANDERERS and the CARDINALS settled for a split in a make-up of the rainout at the beginning of the season. DORTMUND lost the first 2-4 and won the second 11-10. On Sunday both clubs face each other again, this time in Cologne. The WANDERERS are already under pressure to win, as they are two games behind the CARDS in the standings and they occupy the fourth playoff spot.
