Two of them were performed by Vojtěch Buchner, who, together with his brother Adam, led the Mostek team both in pitching and batting. “We were living a bit of a dream, because there was a real threat that our season would end in August. Our average age is 19 years, so it’s great what we succeeded in,” Most coach Pavel Kasal assessed.
Experienced national team pitcher Holobrádek recorded ten strikeouts in the last game. “I enjoyed it a lot. I won the title with the guys I started with. In total, it was my fifth participation in the final, but this one was exceptional,” added Holobrádek, who won the championship trophy in the past in the jersey of Havlíčkov Brod.

By winning a championship hat-trick, Joudrs equaled the balance of Žraloků Ledenice and Eagles Prague in this statistic. “We want to be a flagship. Recently, we have been working well with junior girls, who will complete the squad. It is important to have somewhere to go,” added Kusý.
