In the German Baseball-Bundesliga Jack Shannon and the Cologne Cardinals handed the Bonn Capitals their first loss of the year. The southpaw struck out 15 in a complete game shutout on Sunday. Bonn had won the first game on Saturday thanks to six RBI by Daniel Lamb-Hunt. The Mainz Athletics swept the Munich-Haar Disciples. The rematch of last year’s finals between the Buchbinder Legionaere Regensburg and the Heidenheim Heidekoepfe ended with a split.
