In a preview of the title game of the Confederation Cup, Brasschaat Braves broke out the bats early and romped to a victory over Czech Baseball’s Hroši Brno in Karlovac. Harry Deliyannis, former minor leaguer Thomas de Wolf, Lucas Scott, and Philippines national teamer Stefan Leo all went yard for the Belgian heavyweights. Scott added two doubles and a single, earning the save with four solid innings on the mound, following on from Leo’s five frames and the victory.
In the afternoon game, Rouen Huskies played yet another nail-biter against the home nine, Olimpija Karlovac, with the French club securing third place in a game that was scoreless until the bottom of the seventh. Yui Taido tossed six scoreless innings, while Ryusuke Ito secured the win with three hitless frames, allowing only one unearned run. Each pitcher struck out five.
