- ATMA(Kiev,Ukraine)
The top four teams advance to round two. KVINT and ATMA got relegated.
Here was a great event with many close games. Again, most of opponents just give up those games against KNTU for saving pitchers. Questionable umpiring, but fair final standing. ATMA with a big names and power bats stay off #1 Ukrainian competition – just not prepared for this tournament. Real sport effort showed by KVINT, what for sure will get something back soon.
