Hagen Chipmunks vs Bochum Barflies

Barflies WIN Despite Hagen’s Strong Offense

It was a great day for a baseball gamein the German NRW Landesliga. The Hagen Chipmunks were hosting the Bochum Barflies in the back round of the 2022 season. The Barflies won the first match 6 to 21.

The Barflies put one up in the Top of the 1st, but Hagen answered back with three of their own thanks to a few errors by Bochum as they got used to the hard rocky infield. Bochum caught a break in the second when Hagen’s runner was called out on the bare-handed throw from P Balk to Sinev. Junga closed out the 1-2-3 inning with his catch on a fly ball to the right-center gap.

After the Barflies tied it up in the third, Hagen answered with two more in the third. The strong relay though from Noa-Bolano to Dudel and on to P Balk ended the Chipmunk rally when they tried to stretch a double into a triple.

Bochum capitalized on a few errors, doubles by Froning and Brückmann. The four run inning could have been five or more if not for an unfortunate call at home. On the fly ball confusion on the basepaths ensued. The relay home was on time, but dropped by the catcher. In order to avoid a collision with the Catcher, P Balk made a spectacular jump over him to score. Unfortunately the umpire thought the ball was in the glove when the swipe tag was made on the landing.

Bochum continued to manufacture runs, with two more in the 5th and another in the 7th. This hit up the middle by Noa-Bolano in the 5th sealed the win for the Barflies. But the game’s excitement didnt end there. Hagen made things exciting with bases loaded and their clean-up man at the plate. With the count 2-2, Hagen put on the hit and run with the runner at third breaking home. Not knowing what the call was, Hagen was able to get into the rundown and make it home on an overthrow. But it was S Balk that had cashed in on a strikeout to end the inning making the rundown irrelevant.

Bases were loaded again in the bottom of the eight when a hit off the plate took dribbled to S Balk. Without any stress he tossed to Schulz for the force at home.

Down by three in the bottom of the 9th, Hagen tried to bunt for a base hit. This is where training paid off, and always alert, Schulz made it look easy by scoping it up and throwing to Sinev at first. By the way, let’s not forget Sinev’s solid performance at first, cleaning up after some messy throws to get the outs.

Back in the 9th, Hagen got a baserunner. Anticipating the steal attempt, Schulz made a solid throw to Brückmann who made a great tag for the second out. S Balk closed the game with a strike out.

Theis won the match in 5 solid 5 innings of pitching. He gave up 5 runs, 3- earned. He struck out 5 and walked 4. S Balk came in for four innings, walked three, struck out 5 and both runs were un-earned to give him the save.

Bochum Barflies vs Hochdahl Neandertaler

Schnell noch kurz den Ballpark aufgeräumt, das Trainingmaterial weggestellt und den Dreck der letzten Tage unter den Teppich gekeehrt. Die Barflies zeigen sich wieder von ihrer besten Seite. So wie es sich gehört für einen guten Gastgeber. Zu Besuchen waren die Spieler aus Hochdahl, denn am 24.07 hieß es um 15 Uhr Playball im Spiel Bochum Barflies gg Hochdahl Neandertaler. Gutes Wetter haben die Gäste auch noch mitgebracht, dafür gabs kühles Bier und leckeres vom Grill.

Geschenke wurden aber keine gemacht, denn eins war klar, die Barflies wollen siegreich vom Platz gehen. Ein kurzes runloses beschnuppern in den ersten Innings , gefolgt von einer starken offensive in den darauffolgenden Innings, zeigten dies auch mehr als deutlich. Single after single gepaart mit starken doubles räumten den Bochumern ein gutes Runpolster ein. Und auch defensiv ließ man dieses mal nichts anbrennen. Starkes Pitching mit insgesamt 9 Strikeouts und gute Rückendeckung der Bochumer Defensive mit routinierten Wurfen auf die erste Bases ließen kaum Hits zu. So fand man sich mit 1:10 runs im 6ten Inning wieder. Noch kurz die nächsten Schritte besprochen, um dann auch den letzten Run einzufahren und schon ging es ins 7te Inning. Ein starkes Hit and Run Spiel versetzte den Leadrunner in scoring position. Durch einen spektakulären Powerbunt konnte man so anschließend von der 2ten Base nach Home laufen.

Endstand 1:11 im 7ten Inning. Ein erfolgreicher Tag also für die Bochumer. Jetzt heißt es für die erste Mannschaft erst mal Sommerpause, genug Zeit sich zu erholen und neue Energie zu tanken, um dann voller Vorfreude frisch ins nächste Match gegen die Hagener Chipmunks (7.08.) zu starten.

Düsseldorf Senators II vs Bochum Barflies

Heiß, heißer, Tim Negelken!!! Nicht nur das Wetter war an diesem Spieltag in Topfform, sondern auch der junge Pitcher Tim Negelken. Doch dieses mal anders als üblich, nicht auf dem Mound, sondern eher im Rightfield und an der Platte.

Am Sonntag den 17.07.2022 ging es nach Düsseldorf gegen die Düsseldorfer Senatoren in die Schlacht. Von Anfang an machte die schwüle Luft beiden Teams zu schaffen. Dennoch wollte man es sich nehmen lassen und gleich von Beginn an auf Angriff schalten. So zeichnete sich schon früh ein runreiches Spiel ab. Gepaart mit guter defensiver Leistung – ein spektakulärer Flyingcatch im Centerfield der Bochumer – machten die ersten Innings zu einem Kopf an Kopf rennen. Nur beim Pitchen hatten die Jungs aus Bochum irgendwie den Wurm drin. Was zu vielen Walks und verschenkten Runs führte. Im Laufe des Spiels fanden sich die Barflies so auch eher im Rückstand wieder. Erst durch eine grundsolide Performance von Stephan Tonk, einem alteingesessenen Pitcher der Bochumer konnten diese wieder auf Kurs gebracht werden. Gedopet mit dem nötigen Rückwind vom Mount fuhren die Bochumer die Runproduktion wieder hoch und auch Tim Negelken setze zum Sprint an. Im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes. In der Defensive glänzte er mit einer Rakete aus dem Rightfield in Richtung Home, wo der Catcher erfolgreich zum Tag ansetzen und so ein wichtiger Run für die Senatoren verhindert konnte. Kurz gefolgt von einem Geschoss auf die erste Base, was wiederum einen (normalerweise) sicheren Hit verhinderte. Und auch an der Platte war Tim nicht zimperlich. Zwei Inside-The-Park-Homeruns hintereinander krönten die unterm Strich grandiose Leistung des 21-jährigen.

Alles in allem, trotz zwischenzeitlich sehr zähen Innings ein doch sehr ansehnliches Spiel und am Ende ein 27:20 Sieg für die Bochumer Barflies.
