BUNDESLIGA SHOCKER: DISCIPLES TAKE TWO FROM REGENSEBURG

Although Regensburg’s Buchbinder Legionaere have matters well in hand in the German Baseball League’s South Division, maybe someone should’ve reminded them the regular season isn’t over quite yet.


Regensburg entered last weekend’s series against the Haar Disciples with a 21-1 record and had clinched the division title, while Haar came in with a 6-16 mark. Easy series for the Legionaere, right? Wrong. The Disciples won the opening game, 9-4, as pitcher Ted Gieschen picked up his third win of the Bundesliga season. The second game was the real shocker, a 10-0 Haar rout of Regensburg as Gregor Klinc tossed a five-hit shutout and the Disciples battered former teammate Eddie Aucoin for six runs in the first two innings.

Regensburg is now 21-3, ahead of 17-5 Heidenheim and 15-7 Manheim in the German League South. In the North, the Solingen Alligators won twice against the Cologne Cardinals to stretch their division-leading record to 20-4. The Paderborn Untouchables have reeled off five straight wins and are a solid second at 18-5, while the Dortmund Wanderers are in third with a 15-9 mark.

The Bundesilga regular season ends this weekend.  Playoffs begin in July.
