The Bochum Barflies are back with a vengeance, slamming their way to a massive 22-3 victory over Dortmund! 🎉⚾

In this Mother’s Day showdown at Hoesch Park, the Barflies (1-0) came in hot after their stellar win against Lippstadt. Brückmann kicked off the action with a leadoff triple, setting the stage for what promised to be an electrifying game. But Dortmund wasn’t about to roll over—they capitalized on some early nerves from Bochum, snagging a couple of runs in the bottom of the first.

However, it didn’t take long for the Barflies to shake off the jitters and unleash their offensive fury. From the third inning onward, it was all Bochum, all the way. They lit up the scoreboard with 4 runs in the third, followed by a monstrous 8-run explosion in the fourth, and a jaw-dropping 10-run barrage in the fifth! Talk about an offensive onslaught!

Brückmann was an absolute force to be reckoned with, adding 4 RBIs to his earlier triple with 2 clutch doubles. And let’s not forget about Adrien, whose RBI double in the third helped ignite the Barflies‘ scoring spree in the third and heads up baserunning to steal home in the 5th. Even Shinsuke in the 9-hole got in on the action, crossing home plate in all 4 of his plate appearances!

Defensively, after a rocky start with 6 errors in the first two innings, the Barflies locked it down and shut Dortmund down cold. With Tonk dealing on the mound, pitching a complete game shutout and racking up an impressive 6 strikeouts, Bochum’s defense was simply unbreakable.

In the end, it was a dominant display of skill and determination from the Barflies, proving once again why they’re a force to be reckoned with in the league. With this commanding victory, they’re sending a clear message to the rest of the competition: watch out, because the Barflies are flying high and ready to take on all challengers!
