Season finale in Duisburg

The last game of our 2nd team took place today in Duisburg. In cool temperatures, the team around head coach Max was very motivated and started well in the first inning.
Both at bat and in defense, our Senators played on a par with the Flying Bats for long stretches.
Till and Andy showed special performances on the mound. Till, who has accompanied the team since the beginning of the season, showed nerves as a U15 player and started as a pitcher for the first time today as a senior. From the third inning onwards Andy took over and also impressed with confident pitching.
In the end, Duisburg won 8:13 and the Senators finished the season second to last.

The 2nd men’s team would like to thank head coach Max and everyone who supported us: umpires, scorers and helpers – without you this season would not have been possible.

Thanks to Holger for the support, the organization and the great photos.

Last Home-Game

In the best baseball weather, our 2nd men’s team took the field for their last home game of the season. The team around head coach Max started very focused against the guests from Aachen. Our Senators were on equal terms against the second-placed team for almost the entire game.

A special highlight was Till, who made his debut as a 15U player and was able to shine with an RBI single in his first at bat. He also had a great performance defensively throughout the entire 9 innings. Furthermore, Andy impressed the team and the coaches with a special season performance on the mound. The Greyhounds managed only 8 runs in the entire playing time of 2h 37min.

At the end of the game, the scoreboard showed a narrow 5:8 for Aachen. Next our Senators will meet Ratingen, who they have already won twice against this season. It remains exciting and we are looking forward to the penultimate game of the season in the Landesliga.

On Sunday Düsseldorf and Ratingen faced off for warm summer day Landesliga matchup. A day which would end with a first victory of the season for either team.

The improving form of our second continued today. Despite many injuries, the team fought over 9 innings and convinced on all positions.
The hitting practice over the last few weeks paid off, because our Senators – after 6 losses – won today with 20:15.

A big thank you goes to Patrick and Michael, who stepped in as umpires at short notice.

Season long winning streak ends in Cologne

On Sunday the 15U traveled to Cologne for an exciting Landesliga division face off against the Cardinals.

After a back and forth exchange up until the middle innings the team surrounding Coaches Max, Holger and Till, was able to a commanding 12:8 lead, putting the pressure on the hosts. Seemingly unfazed however, the Cardinals were able to mount a come back including their second Home Run of the day, which the young Senators team was unable to find answer to.
