Men’s Softball European Super Cup Championship Game
In the championship game, the defending champions Hurricanes defeated the Czech squad Žraloci Ledenice, 10-2, to win the title.
On the bottom of the first, the Hurricanes took the lead, scoring four times: Mertl walked and scored on a hit by Klein; with bases loaded, Frederik Terkelsen scored on another walk by the Czech pitcher, and Mukherjee batted in two more runs (Klein and Petr). Three runs were scored on the second inning and two on the third to make the result on the scoreboard 9-0.
The Czech squad scored twice at the top of the fourth to avoid the end of the game by mercy rule: with one out, Turek got a hit on the right side and Frejlach homered.
