Baseball: Bonn Capitals defeat Cologne

Already in the first duel on Saturday, which took place in Cologne, the champion’s strengthened offensive gave the highly praised Cardinals pitcher, Florian Kawczynski, no chance. Four of Brenk’s five shots were successful. In addition to the four hits, Brenk also collected four runs. Lee was similarly strong, scoring three hits and two walks, which was good for four of Bonn’s 14 points. Overall, the Bonn offensive acted concentrated and focused. In addition to Brenk and Lee, Vinny Ahrens contributed two hits, including a two-run home run, to the fourth win of the season. Daniel Lamb-Hunt also enjoyed two hits. A welcome side effect of Bonn’s strong offensive performance: after just two innings, Lee was able to rest his starting pitcher and try the youngsters on the throwing mound. The 14:2 never faltered. The game ended prematurely after seven innings.
