In the National League Group A the Zurich team suffered two clear defeats on the road against the Lausanne Indians.<br \/>\nThe Lausanne team was more dangerous offensively and consistently pressured the visitors with heavy base traffic. The Challengers managed only one clean inning, trailing 1-6 after two innings and ultimately losing the opening game 4-15. Jordi Bucher was the only Zurich player with two hits and scored three of the Challengers&#8217; four runs.<br \/>\nIn the second game, the Challengers again got off to a poor start. They were already down by seven runs after the first inning. The visitors recovered somewhat and were able to keep pace with the Indians for the remainder of the game. However, the damage was done and the Challengers had to concede defeat in game two as well, losing 7-17. Joseph Stotz shone with two doubles, while Patrick Z\u00f6llig and Tyler Smith each had two hits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/page-nosidebar.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-8839","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Home - Zurich Challengers<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Challengers Baseball- und Softball-Club Z\u00fcrich\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.challengers.ch\/en\/\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.challengers.ch\/en\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.challengers.ch\/en\/\",\"name\":\"Home - Zurich Challengers\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.challengers.ch\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2015-04-13T14:40:24+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2015-08-15T12:27:09+00:00\",\"description\":\"Challengers Baseball- und Softball-Club Z\u00fcrich\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.challengers.ch\/en\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.challengers.ch\/en\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.challengers.ch\/en\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Startseite\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.challengers.ch\/en\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Home\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.challengers.ch\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.challengers.ch\/\",\"name\":\"Zurich Challengers\",\"description\":\"Baseball &amp;
