Alex LAUTERBACH was on base in all four plate appearances. He hit a home run, a triple, was hit by a pitch and singled. He had two RBI’s and scored twice. Simon KUDERNATSCH and Cedric BASSEL (1-2, 2 bb) scored also two runs each.
Martin ALMSTETTER (W 1-0) continued his great postseason. He gave up only five hits, a hit by pitch and two walks in seven scoreless innings. He struck out three. Manuel MOELLER (L 0-1) was hit hard. He pitched six innings and allowed six hits, eight runs (5 ER) and four base on balls.
