The extension part of the baseball extra league finishes, waiting for the next semi-final
The baseball players from Třebíč have the most difficult task ahead of them, who do not have the promotion in their hands. In addition, they have a series against the Brno Dragons, which they have to beat three times. However, the Dragons lost only two matches in the TOP 6, which does not give much hope from Třebíč’s point of view. In addition, the Brno team is still not sure of the first place, which would give it a lot of home environment in the series in the playoffs. “We can only change what we can influence ourselves. Others will happen. I believe in a fun series with the Dragons,” says Nuclears playing coach Jeffrey Barto.
Last week, Hroši Brno claimed the first promotion to the top six in the club’s history and they can still think about the first place in the TOP 6. On the contrary, Eagles Prague in fourth place are not sure yet and are still in danger. They can lose more times than Arrows Ostrava to advance to the semis, otherwise the gates of medal fights will remain closed for them. Both teams are gratefully watching the rising form of the two foreign props, who also won the best player award last week. South African Tyler Smith of the Hippos added his third home run in the TOP 6 and Andrew Grieder of the Eagles was central to the series win against the Nuclears.
In the third series, two teams that are not yet sure of advancing to the six will compete. However, Tempo Prague lacks only one win to be sure. Conversely, the Arrows know they need to get one win more than the Eagles. “The advantage for us is that most of the two games are at home, so we hope for support from the stands,” says Jakub Grepl, Arrows’ best batsman in the TOP 6. Tempo can fight for promotion to the top four for the first time since 2004, when it operated under the name Tegola Prague.
