Gleich 2 Hits Augsburg at baseline and subsequent control problems of Kwiring exercised the same amount Pressure on the Mohawks of. Thus achieved the hosts 4 Runs in the first round and more 2 runs in the second inning. This was countered 0 Runs for the Mohawks, the offensive again even not found into play.

The low point of the meeting was immediately held in the third inning. Kwiring had more trouble with the control on the mound by coach Pedro Medrano be replaced. But the drama was in that inning another. 6 Field errors, some hard hits by Augsburg left the Nagolder perish literally. 10 Runs recorded the hosts finally in this passage and Nagold was written off at this time. Resistance or rebellion against the defeat was not visible. So you dragged himself literally on the minimum length of game 7 Innings, by well end up with 23:1 to be beaten.

With 8 field errors, just 7 own hits and a weak you never had mental attitude the chance of a victory at an opponent which will be in direct table environment.

Accordingly, the opportunities for play were 2 actually only better – and play 2 should have a different gameplay. Starting Pitchers Marc Meusel was from the beginning neatly into play and forced the offensive Augsburg to blows, the safe defuse the defensive of the Mohawks could.

At the stroke managed to build up more pressure the Mohawks and also bring the Augsburger errors hard knocks. After the third Through it was a game both teams on equal footing. a concise 5:6-Leadership could claim the Mohawks until after the fourth inning. due to injury a Pitcherwechsel to Edisson Subdiaga had to be carried out,  but showed a positive effect and Nagold was to regularly score points after able with clever attacking play.

A short time later was outfielder Andre Jackson no longer continue to play in a position due to a sprain.

After a brief rain interruption in the score of 7:12 Runs in favor of Nagolder you went to the final and decisive inning – and the Mohawks pass through control difficulties guest Pitcher Further 3 Runs. The last half-inning had with 3 be survived from, But Augsburg fought. get into the outfield with a wide impact 2 Anschlussruns at an off. The second from then would the First Base must give the Mohawks security. Instead, it became a Nervous game. More hits and more runs the backlog shortened. Whether on it wet by rain soil or exhausted by the injury Player personnel was, but repeatedly succeeded in the last decisive throw Toward first base not. And so it was again an unsuccessful game action which allowed the Augsburg victory point. Endstand 16:15 Runs.

Finally remains the realization, even if the second Game was a significant increase, the team with small Negative phase is too unstable mentally and the game quickly out of hand gives.

Offensive are in both games, players Frieder Häfele (4 Hits) and André Jackson and Alexander Kwiring (je 3 Hits) hervorzuheben.

With a record of 2 Victories and 8 Losses are the Mohawks currently second from bottom place. The upcoming games on Saturday, the 25. More 2019 are at home to bottom club Karlsruhe pioneering.

Own inability hindered Mohawk on encounter with Heidenheim

Many careless mistakes on the defensive and a little aggressive in the attack were the visiting Heidenheim Heideköpfe ultimately enter two easy victories.

At least the weather, the Mohawks had nothing to complain last Easter weekend and so many spectators at home in Mohawk Park found a. Starting pitcher Alexander Kwiring got a bad start. Difficulties with the strike zone and hard knocks of the guests set the Mohawks from the beginning to. 3 Runs in the first inning, 1 Run in the second and more 3 Runs in the third round were the Mohawks only with 2 answer runs.

Also, the early switch to pitcher veteran Marc Meusel was due to a variety of defensive error does not stop the other points of the guests. Only seven of the nine errors ultimately - - the cause of the failure in this game during the game especially costly mistakes in the outfield were.

Still managed by a Pitcherwechsel on the part of Heidenheim in the seventh through some result-cosmetics, but did not prevent the premature end of the game after seven innings with the score of 8:18 Runs in favor of guests.

In Spiel 2 should then be reparation - and starting pitcher Edisson Subdiaga held the Heidenheim in check. His throws were the goal and the game brought strokes of the guests were a few exceptions also processed well defensively. The Nagolder remained himself off and stopped at any time to connect. In the fifth round even managed the 4:3-Lead after hits by Hannes Grossmann and Edisson Subdiaga.

Subdiaga was, however, after five rounds with the throwing power at the end and so took relief pitcher Marius Nöther. However, this got off to a bad day. The throw speed seemed the guests to lie and so ended up a meeting after the other in the field of the Mohawks. And with this pressure on the defensive errors crept back into play. 5 ultimately 6 Field error happened in the last two innings. As a result of the guests brought a total of 11 Runs home and decided after regular time from seven innings at the end clearly with 4:15 Runs.

The Mohawks were in Karlsruhe as a guest and had ambitious goals, the already last year, the Nagolder could hijack a victory from Baden.

According offensive began guests. What was new was moved into the lineup Gregor Lenhard, which in the course of the game with strong 3 Hits led the offensive.

The game as a starting pitcher for the Mohawks began Marc Meusel, the result of an accident in the late could start preparing. But Meusel was using a stable Defensive harmless contest the first two innings. Only in the third inning get the guests by an error and following the good shots first 3 Runs.

The Mohawks offensive was only after four played Innings on Scoreboard. Although opportunities were always rendered with runners on points. Such was in the first four rounds 5 Runners in "Scoring Position "which, however, only with 1 Run were used.

Nach weiteren 2 Runs the Atomics in the fifth round took Pitcher Alexander Kwiring the mound and could and the Mohawks save without further damage from the inning. The two runs were in return Nagolder reciprocate the same, and in the sixth inning with a further run the Score on 4:5 Shorten Runs.

A Pitcherwechsel on guest side let the other but cool Offensive efforts quickly. While it succeeded as the beginning always to reposition runners well, However, the decisive blow did not materialize.

The second game of the day began pitching Newcomer Hannes Grossmann for Nagolder, the difficulties had the offensive of the guests in keep bridle. 3 Runs in the first and more 5 Runs in the second inning allowed the Mohawks fall in the same residue. A Pitcherwechsel the end of the third innings to recruit Edisson Subdiaga brought the desired effect and brought relief for the defensive.

But the guest pitching was uncharacteristically weak, so that the hosts after three innings until 7:8 Runs heran kamen. Sun also had early on the visiting team change to avoid more damage. And with the conversion Nagold had to fight - also due to circumstances the already long playing time, succeeded Offense little. While Neuenburg in the sixth passage again 2 drauflegen Runs could, Nagold was offensive no longer present.

So at the end of a long day game was also the second game With 7:10 Runs decided in favor of the Neuchâtel.
