In the upcoming days we are trying to catch up with the leagues in European Baseball and Softball, we were not covering during the summer. We are going to give you an overview about the championship, hopefully from every country in Europe. You can also send us (news@mister-baseball.com) a report about your league and we’ll try to publish it.
The THERWIL FLYERS defended their title in Swiss Softball and won the championship for the sixth time since 2000. They defeated the REUSSBUEHL EAGLES in two games in the finals, outscoring them 36 to 5. The EAGLES, who were 2-10 in the final round, had upset the 9-2 WIL DEVILS in the semi-finals. THERWIL eliminated the ZURICH CHALLENGERS to advance into the best-of-three finals. The FLYERS and the DEVILS were tied in first place after the regular season with 11-3 records.
