The Croatian Baseball season began last weekend when the four top teams ZAGREB, OLIMPIJA, NADA and VINDIJA played their first games. Reigning champion BK ZAGREB got out of the gates quickly, winning both games against VARAZDIN. In game one BK decided the outcome in the bottom of the seventh with two runs for an 8-6 victory. Each team had scored six times in the first four innings. The second match was a little bit more lopsided with ZAGREB putting runs on the board in six of the seven innings en route to a 17-7 win. In the other matchup, KARLOVAC nearly blew a five-run lead after eight innings, but stopped the comeback by SPLIT just in time.
