]]> ESSL Switzerland: 1. BNB, 2. Guzzlers, 3. Toros https://www.softballeurope.com/2015/07/13/essl-switzerland-1-bnb-2-guzzlers-3-toros/ Mon, 13 Jul 2015 17:40:48 +0000 http://www.softballeurope.com/?p=2227 The first ESSL tournament in Switzerland had a lot of surprises. The host, the Toros, beat the Los Coyotes (16:9) and Dream Team (10:6) to reach the 3rd place. This team surprised everybody by hitting line drives in the gaps and playing a solid defense.

The tournament also offered great games between the two US teams. Guzzlers challenged the Bombers in the finals and forced them to an additional championship game by winning the first game 24:14. In the second game the Bombers managed to take the lead but the Guzzlers came closer every inning. With runners on first and second and a previous inside-the-park homerun by Todd Gonsalves the Guzzlers were close to tie the game. But with a double play (5-4-3) the Bombers won the game 10:7 and their third ESSL tournament in a row.

Dream Team reached the fourth place in Switzerland and rewarded themselves with the third position in the ESSL standings with 15 points. Overall the race for the ESSL bronze medal will be very close between Dream Team, Los Coyotes and Bulldogs. However, with the third place in Switzerland the Toros also have a chance to join the race.

The Bulldogs arrived with a very talented team but due to some injuries they were not able to reach their full potential. At the end the gained the 5th place in Switzerland. It’s the same position they currently have in the ESSL standings only 3 points away from the bronze medal.

It seems like the Austrian teams are in a slump at the moment. The Los Coyotes had a strong team but were not able to activate their skills. It looks like the loss against the Guzzlers distracted them from their goal to reach the finals. The second Austrian team, PGS, lost track to be a permanent contendor in the ESSL. Maybe the loss against the Toros in Ljubljana has still its afterereffect. The Los Titanes were able to win against Dream Team (15:11) and had a close game against Bulldogs (5:6) but at the end it was not enough. Finally, the ranked on 8th place.
