Until the rain came…

In today’s match, the Düsseldorf Senators’ Verbandsliga team faced the Ratingen Goose-Necks.
The weather conditions during the night had taken their toll on the field, which had to be extensively resurfaced by the team.
Nevertheless, the first game of the day was able to start on time. Head coach Anton started on the mound and his team kept the Ratingen team at bay. It was a neck-and-neck race until the 6th inning. Closer Daichi brought the game home with a save in the last two innings. 12:7 for the Senators.

In the second game, Robin started on the mound and the team did not allow a single run despite 7 hits from Ratingen. Düsseldorf, on the other hand, scored 6 runs until the game had to be abandoned after the 4th inning due to heavy rain and the subsequent unplayability of the field.

We are looking forward to the return match in Ratingen and what the two teams will show there.
