The 35th Prague Baseball Week got underway on Tuesday afternoon with a pair of games after the schedule need to be adjusted due arrival problems for Team Pakistan.
In the first game the Czech U23 squad edged out the International Stars 6-4. The Czech U23 scored all six runs between the fifth and the seventh to decide the outcome. Filip Mostek drove in three. Ondrej Satoria allowed five hits, an unearned run and two walks in five innings to earn the win. Josh Wyant, Kevin Faries, Wes Roemer and Jack Shannon scored the runs for the International Stars.
In the second game the Czech Republic beat the Drop Bears from the US 7-3 in a rain shortened game. Six runs in the second turned an early 0-3 deficit into a lead for the Czech seniors. Ryan Battaglia drove in two for the Drop Bears. Martin Schneider, Matej Hejma and Daniel Vavrusa had two RBI apiece for the Czech. Radim Chroust conceded three hits and three runs in four innings. He struck out four.
