With five doubleheaders, which were re-scheduled following rainouts, the German Baseball-Bundesliga concludes the regular season on Saturday. While mathematically the race for first place in the northern division is still open, the main focus will be on the battles for fourth place in each division. In the north the Dortmund Wanderers host the HSV Stealers, needing a sweep to pass the club from Hamburg in the standings. In the south the Haar Disciples take on the Heidenheim Heidekoepfe, while the Mannheim Tornados face the Bad Homburg Hornets. Haar has a one-game lead over Mannheim in the standings, but would lose the tiebreaker.
On Sunday the All-Star Game in the German Baseball-Bundesliga will be played for the first time since 2002. Paderborn hosts the exhibition (2.30pm) and a homerun derby (12pm) at the Ahorn Ballpark.
