Last weekend has taken place the first stage of the
“Ukrainian baseball Cup 2018” tournament. Competitors have played two matches
on the home field of the "Poltava Wild Hogs" team.
The first game day was spoiled by bad weather
conditions. However, a pitcher of the “Sokoly” team Andrii Kostashchuk (the
Youth European Champion 2016) managed to lead his team to victory. In addition
to a successful pitching game – 14 strike-outs, Andrii made a solo home-run. As
a result, the “Sokoly” team won the game with a score 10:0 in seven innings.
The next day, guests took the lead again. The team of
the coach Rostislav Hrinchuk kept an advantage over the entire match. In the
middle of the ninth inning, the score was 11:5 in favor of “Sokoly”. However,
the “Poltava Wild Hogs” team chased the game. Only the lack of experience did
not allow them to snatch victory during the regular time. After nine innings
the score was 11:11. In extra-inning, baseball players from Chernivtsi city
defeated the “Sokoly” team with the score 17:11.
