According to an entry in the forum of the Bavarian Baseball and Softball Federation by a longtime club member, the Gauting Indians will withdraw from the German Baseball-Bundesliga. They are now in discussions with the German Federation (DBV) how to handle things. Gauting finished the 2011 season in sixth place in the southern division. It will be the second time in as many years that a southern-division team will leave the league after the Saarlouis Hornets did the same thing last winter. In the north the Pulheim Gophers wanted to do the same during this summer, but the DBV convinced them to play out the season.
