Highlights from Disciples vs Tornados Game 2
The German Baseball-Bundesliga got underway with an exciting opening weekend. In the northern division the Bonn Capitals and Solingen Alligators captured sweeps. However both favorites had to work hard for win number two after lopsided victories in the first match. Bonn won 17-1 and 3-1 against the Hanover Regents, while the Alligators defeated the Cologne Cardinals 13-0 and 3-2. Game two went over 11 innings with Daniel Sanchez scoring the game winning in the second extra inning. Solingen had tied the game in the ninth.
In the south all two-game series ended with splits. As expected defending champion Heidenheim Heidekoepfe and the Mainz Athletics battled in a back-and-forth affair, sharing wins on Saturday and Sunday. The Buchbinder Legionaere Regensburg had to settle for one win during their doubleheader against the Stuttgart Reds. The Munich-Haar Disciples beat the Mannheim Tornados 14-8 on Saturday thanks to a six-run eighth and then lost 8-10 on Sunday after 12 innings. Additionally the Tubingen Hawks beat the Bad Homburg Hornets in a thrilling game one 7-6 before losing 0-13 in the second.
