FINALE Oh oh! - Mohawks move on to the cup final

The baseball team of Nagold Mohawks have already posted Club history. With a 5:16-Away win against the Sindelfingen Squirrels draw Nagolder restarted in the cup final of Baden-Württemberg Base- und Softballverbands (BWBSV) an.

Last Sunday, the 28. August 2016 were at high late summer temperatures, the masters of the Mohawks in Sindelfingen guest. Nominally one could see because of the higher league affiliation Nagold as favorite. But the last meeting between the teams in recent years, then still in the same league, Games were always at eye level. And so they avoided speaking specifically in Nagold by one of the favorites.

The Mohawks submitted but before from the outset and could in the first round by good punches from Dennis Berg and Robert Plankenhorn equal 3 won runs. In return Sindelfingen succeeded by a wide 2-run homerun of connection. Both teams thus showed Offensive active and well 50 Viewers could expect an exciting game.

But the offensive lines of both teams was maintained by routine moves and good pitching in check after. And so go the Mohawks to the end of the fourth innings only 2 more runs. The fourth innings should be worthwhile for Sindelfingen. With 3 Runs managed hosts the temporary equalizer ere Nagold could save from the inning.

Temperatures demanded the starting pitcher Georg Plank Horn from some and so moved Nagold the fifth passage with Marc Meusel the pitcher on the Mound. And it was effective - fast passages without runs were the result. But the Nagolder offensive could not decisively influence the game. Only when in the seventh inning, the strength left on the side of Sindelfingen was decided by a series of good blows the game. final 11 Runs in this inning were enough, to enable a flawless defensive, the game prematurely with 5:16 terminate Runs.

Thus the sensation for Nagold is perfect - moving into BWBSV Cup final on 03. October 2016 in Bretten. "This final team earned.

Such finals in the 20th anniversary of the association is simply sensational. ", so Trainer Marius Nöther.

The Mohawks looking for consistency

The past three weeks at the Nagold Mohawks resemble a mountain- and roller coaster ride. With defeats against the bottom club Schriesheim and table neighbor Göppingen and a win against Tübingen can be no clear causes of the inconstant shape find Mohawks in the men of Nagold.

Already on 07. August 2016 one was at bottom the Schriesheim robber barons guest. After still great 10:0-Win against Freiburg from the previous week and the 13:3-Leg success had a victory firmly scheduled.
And perhaps it was this attitude, which led to a large number of preventable errors. Because with a total 8 field errors, was the hitherto fairly stable defense of Nagolder vulnerable and let unnecessary runs to. Also in the offensive one stood beside him. Only 5 Hits (at 9 Strikeouts and 5 Walks) could be achieved. And so the two good pitchers was the Mohawks Georg Plank Horn and Marc Meusel not there to chalk, that at the end of a 7:4-was defeated on paper.

And so it was the week after the 14. August 2016 home effort against the Tübingen Hawks to improvement. Tübingen was arriving on individual items with Bundesliga gain due to lack of players and put the first accents before Nagold with a strong fourth inning, the first runs for intermediate level of 4:2 runs scored. By further 3 Runs in the fifth passage could be developed a little cushion, what Tübingen piece by piece and devoured.
In the ninth inning, the decision should fall. In Score of 8:5 Runs could Marc Meusel by two early strikeouts play out a good position, but Tübingen succeeded with two broad strokes of the connection point to the 8:7 Runs. With the balanced point on base it was a short captive Flyball Tübingen of the third and final from that day and so the narrow victory secured.
Overall, the team's performance was significantly better on this day, So even the weekend before. With 12 Hits one was offensive active and could put the opponent under pressure. Defensive only extended to one 2 Errors and the back strong pitching (12 Strikeouts and 3 Walks) the foundation was laid.

But this positive trend was last Gameday, at the 21. August vanished again in Göppingen. For a replacement weakened Göppinger team they were not able at the right time, to take the right actions.
Although the overall defensive-compelling game both teams led to some offensive actions, but could not be used to Runs. So it was the Göppingen in the first round with 1:0 Runs in leadership went. The compensation and the change of leadership succeeded the Mohawks in the third round by a 2-Runs-Hits by Marc Meusel. This was offset by directly Göppingen in return.
From this point the teams to equalized offensive and remained defensive flawlessly. In the seventh inning, the Mohawks were short inattentive and allowed Göppingen by two errors lead again and the decisive points to the final score of 4:2 Runs.
Again, the Mohawks remained below its potential and could indeed with 10 Hits achieve more hits than the opponent, but 2 Runs are their yield too little.
The Nagold Mohawks still prove despite the defeats and a balanced win-Loss ratio a good 3. Place in the table. But the very Göppingen Greensox are with a game in hand directly in wait.

On the coming weekend, the 28. August 2016 have the Mohawks a Ligaauszeit before it on weekends 24./25. September 2016 hits a double Gameday the season finale against Freiburg and Göppingen to placements.
But at 28. August 2016 is being played, for the first time in club history the Nagold Mohawks may hope for a place in the cup final. In the semifinals, the Baden-Württemberg Baseball Cup, you meet the well-known Sindelfingen Squirrels - Beginning in Sindelfingen 14 Clock.

At the very beginning had guests offensive empty-handed sit and in turn succeeded the Mohawks equal to the first Run by Hannes Grossmann, by a very good-humored Dennis Berg (3 Hits bei 6 Impact tests) was brought home. The leadership was taken over briefly by Gammertingen in the second half before the hosts from the third passage took over the helm and with 4 Runs could build a small guide pad.

This pad was continuously further 7 Runs in the fourth and 2 Runs are removed in the fifth inning. It was offensive to Marc Meusel (3 Hits bei 5 Impact tests) und Alexander Kwiring (2 of 3) the most active. Defensively they stuck largely harmless, so that to the good Nagolder Pitch Ting with a stable defensive only 4 Runs were approved until the end of the sixth inning.
