Neunkirchen Nightmares – Solingen Alligators 1-23, 1-13

The ALLIGATORS, as expected, stayed undefeated last weekend, scoring 36 runs in the doubleheader in NEUNKIRCHEN. The NIGHTMARES are missing their two American players, as Brendan Ishikawa returned to the States and Brett van Hooser is injured.

Game one was as lopsided as it gets. SOLINGEN scored six fast runs and build a 13-1 lead after four innings. They added ten more until the end of the fifth for a 23-1 pounding. Moritz Buttgereit hit two homeruns. Andre Hughes allowed one run in seven innings, striking out 13.

The second part of the doubleheader was not much different. Jens Cornelsen was a brilliant replacement for the missing Enorbel Marquez-Ramirez on the mound, as he struck out ten batters in another, due ten-run rule, shortened game. The ALLIGATORS won 13-1. However not everything was perfect this day. Dominik Wulf was ejected for arguing balls and strikes and is going to miss the important first game of their next doubleheader against the UNTOUCHABLES on June 22.
