Haar Disciples sting Hornets; Caribes widen lead

November 30, -0001 • 12:00 AM

The Haar Disciples kept on rolling in the 1. Bundesliga South baseball league over the weekend, stinging the sixth-place Bad Homburg Hornets twice with 7-3 and 9-6 victories. Haar's season record now stands at 10-4, tightening their hold on fourth place, a post-season playoff spot in the Bundesliga South.

In game one away at the sixth-place Hornets, pitcher Lukas Steinlein capped an impressive week when he was named in Germany's national squad for a tournament in Prague. Steinlein picked up his...

Disciples making believers of sceptics

November 30, -0001 • 12:00 AM

A split away against the powerful Regensburg Legionaires baseball club over the weekend by the Haar Disciples is starting to make believers of Haar and their chances of going far this season, especially after last season ended in turmoil.

In German baseball's 1. Bundesliga-South league, Haar were beaten 6-3 in a night game under the floodlights of the Regensburg stadium on Saturday. But Regensburg - the Bundesliga champions the last three years running - had to work hard for the win. Up until the...

Huck wins decision in Afolabi trilogy

November 30, -0001 • 12:00 AM

Germany's Marco Huck redeemed himself after two controversial decisions by putting in a solid performance to beat Britain's Ola Afolabi by majority decision in Berlin on Saturday. In doing so he retained the WBO cruiserweight world title for an eleventh time since winning it 2009. After twelve action packed rounds, two of the judges awarded their decision to Huck, the third official unable to separate the pair, scored it a draw.

This was the third time these two world class cruiserweights had met...

Barnes the man to replace the injured Carey

November 30, -0001 • 12:00 AM

It's not often that sport gets the chance to surprise in the modern era but news from the Munich Cowboys camp has certainly done that. The disappointment surrounding the injury to regular quarterback Patrick Carey, who will be out for 4 weeks with a broken clavicle, has the potential to put the brakes on a promising start (2-2-1) for Coach Craig's team. Step forward former University of Georgia quarterback and now offensive coordinator of the Cowboys, Blake Barnes.

Barnes has been the man...

US hurler no-hits the Tornados

November 30, -0001 • 12:00 AM

In baseball lore the well-known nickname for a baseball park is the "Field of Dreams", but in Haar, they might start coining another term: "Fields of Dreams."

If anyone was asking before the season why the Disciples signed on US pitcher Brian Fields, they got a near-perfect answer on Saturday. In Haar's 1. Bundesliga-South game against the visiting Mannheim Tornados, the former Paderborn Untouchables hurler threw a no-hit game en route to a 2-0 win. Except for one walk he gave up, Fields...

Weather gets the better of Munich baseball clubs

November 30, -0001 • 12:00 AM

Score last weekend's regional baseball activity as follows: Weather 5 - Munich Teams 0.

After any number of washouts over the month of May, this past weekend it finally happened: All five Munich-area baseball clubs playing in German baseball's top three divisions saw their doubleheader fixtures fall victim to the rain and/or baseball fields made unplayable by the rain.

The washouts included the Haar Disciples 1st team's game in Stuttgart (1. Bundesliga South), the Haar Disciples 2nd team away...

Rain ruins Cowboys run

November 30, -0001 • 12:00 AM

The Munich Cowboys good started was spoiled by penalties and missed chances as they fell to a 27-20 defeat against the visiting Rhein-Neckar Bandits, leaving their season record at 2-2.

With Bayern Munich's domestic cup final taking up the evening slot for sporting entertainment, the Munich Cowboys home venture against the visiting Rhein-Neckar Bandits looked an easy option for the afternoon. The incessant rain didn't help swing any undecided parties though and it made for both depleted numbers...

Carey: A broader mind that is setting a trend

November 30, -0001 • 12:00 AM

"If you had told me two years ago, that I would be here, playing professional football in Germany, I wouldn't have believed you." It's hard not to believe any young, American quarterback who suggests that NFL Europe was nothing more than a distraction from the bright, Friday-night lights of the regular NFL season. For Patrick Carey though, the NFL Europe was something he had seen on television as a youngster and, along with the help of some friends across the pond, his awareness of Europe's...

Rosberg claims Monaco crown

November 30, -0001 • 12:00 AM

Nico Rosberg has joined an elite club by winning the illustrious Monaco Grand Prix. It's the second race-win of his career, but it doesn't come as a surprise considering that Rosberg is a Monaco resident and is thus familiar with the track and the surroundings. Furthermore, he accomplished a unique feat in Formula 1, as he became the first son to win a race which was also won by his father. Keke Rosberg won the Monaco GP exactly 30 years ago.

Monaco is always a bit different to any other race in...

Haar Disciples back on the winning track

November 30, -0001 • 12:00 AM

It's tempting to score last weekend's baseball results like this: Weather 4 - Munich Baseball 2.

The bad news for the Munich-area clubs playing in the top two divisions was that the 2nd-division teams Baldham Boars and Haar Disciples II had their total of four away games, respectively in Heidenheim and Karlsruhe, washed out by the rainy weather.

The good news was that at least the Haar Disciples' first team managed to squeeze in two games in the 1. Bundesliga South division at home on Saturday....

Spoils shared in tense baseball clash

November 30, -0001 • 12:00 AM

In an outcome which helped only one club - the league-leading Munich Caribes - the Gauting Indians and Ellwangen Elks played to a split on Saturday. In two tense contests, the hosts Gauting won the first one 2-0, but fell short as the visiting Elk narrowly held on to a 6-5 win in the second game.

The results - on a weekend when there was no other baseball in the Munich area - left Ellwangen with a won-lost record in the Regionalliga South-East of 7-5 and Gauting with 6-4. So the outcome did...

Rain postpones "battle of the 'burbs"

November 30, -0001 • 12:00 AM

Thanks - or rather, no thanks - to the local area's inclement weather at the weekend, three of Munich's suburban baseball teams had their games postponed, including a much-anticipated 2. Bundesliga-South "battle of the 'burbs" clash between Haar Disciples 2nd team and Baldham Boars. The Gauting Indians' home fixture against the Füssen Royal Bavarians in the Regionalliga Southeast likewise fell victim to the rain.

The other local Munich area teams - the Haar Disicples first team in the 1....
