A positive, full of good experiences, tournament has meanwhile found an end. Certainly the impeccable organization and some luck with weather conditions had their share in a positive and full of experience loaded week.<\/p>\n
The qualification round being played the first two days, as expected, were (for the moment) still too big a challenge for our young team. Spain 14-4, Croatia 11-4, France 9-3 as well as the defending champion and host Italy were simply stronger.<\/p>\n
After a day off (team visiting the city of Milan), Wednesday was the beginning of the 2nd (and for the team really important) placement round of the championships.<\/p>\n
Another 6 games in only 3 days resulted in the following, very positive scores:<\/p>\n
Lithuania Win <\/strong>11-0 in 4 Innings<\/p>\n Hungary Win<\/strong> 9-1 in 6 Innings<\/p>\n Slovakia Loss<\/strong> 5-0 in 7 Innings<\/p>\n Denmark Win<\/strong> 13-7 in 7 Innings<\/p>\n Israel Win<\/strong> 7-0 (forfait, too many too young players on the Israeli Team)<\/p>\n Bulgaria Win<\/strong> 3-1 in 7 Innings<\/p>\n The final result was a good, not really expected, 18th place (out of 23 teams).<\/p>\n Head Coach Steph Gosselin with very good support of her team with Julia Gloukhoff, Pam Mottl, Tatiana Pedrotta and Sue Fischer had an important share in a positive week for the young team. 10 games in only 6 days were a real challenge for the only 14, mostly young players! We feel, there is a good future for this young, hardworking team.<\/p>\n Thanks to all fans who supported us really well throughout the tournament.<\/p>\n A final and big thank you goes to Marc Fischer how kept the fans over social media and live streaming in the loop. This was important and helped to make it a positive experience for the Swiss Softball National Team.<\/p>\n www.swiss-baseball.ch\/photos<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A positive, full of good experiences, tournament has meanwhile found an end.
