The Therwil Flyers won their fifth Swiss Softball championship since 2000. They defeated last years champion Zurich Challengers 8-6 in game three last Sunday. A RBI-groundout by Babsi MEIERHANS in the bottom of the sixth frame was responsible for the winning run. Both teams fought hard and the lead changed several times.
Karen HEIMGARTNER led Zurich with a strong effort on the mound to a 6-1 win in game two. She allowed only five hits, one run and one walk, while striking out 14.
The Flyers won a slugfest on Saturday. They built an early lead and needed insurance runs at the end, after some rallies from the C´s. Babsi MEIERHANS (Fly) and Leandra SIMITOVIC (Cha) belted homeruns.
