On Thursday reigning champion Stockholm prevailed 10-1 over the Academy. Hammarstedt had two more hits, but Stockholm erased an early 0-1 deficit and blew the score wide open with a five-run eighth. Daniel Wood collected three hits, two runs and two RBI for the Monarchs. Jakob Claesson pitched three innings of scoreless relief.
The Swedish Elitseries resumes play on Saturday, as three doubleheaders are scheduled. Stockholm travels to Goteborg, Sölvesborg hosts Botkyrka and Leksand squares off against Sundbyberg.
