In the northern division of the German Softball-Bundesliga the two undefeated leaders met last weekend and had to settle for a split. In game one the Nightmares scored a whopping 14 runs in the top of the sixth en route to an 18-3 win over Wesseling. In the second match the Vermins erased a 9-12-deficit with a four-run rally in the bottom of the seventh to win 13-12.
In the southern division the three top teams continued their winning ways. The Mannheim Tornados improved to 8-0 with a sweep in Heidelberg against the Hedgehogs. The Haar Disciples picked up wins number six and seventh of the season by scoring 13 runs in each of the two games against the Herrenberg Wanderers. The Karlsruhe Cougars remain tied with Haar in the standings after defeating the Augsburg Dirty Slugs twice.
