With minimum line-up to victory

The Bonn Capitals were the guests in Benrath today. The thermometer showed a sunny 32 degrees Celsius and our second team got off to a good start, leading 3:2 after the first inning.

Head coach Max’s team only had 9 players, so everyone had to play through, which was very exhausting in the weather.

However, Bonn kept up well until our Senators turned up the heat in the fourth inning and conjured up 9 runs on the scoreboard to extend their lead to 18:8. Showtime, who celebrated his birthday on the field with 4 hits and 2 runs, was also involved.

As in Neunkirchen, the second team played at its best with nine players in enormous heat and only allowed the Capitals to get within 3 runs. It was another great team performance, with Michael K. and Till on the mound and Min with 2 flyouts in leftfield. The reward was a well-deserved 18:15 victory after more than 3 hours of play.

We would like to thank Eric for his commitment to the Senators and are delighted that we were able to stand on the field with him once again. All the best for your future and see you soon at the field!
