Zürich Barracudas 3 earned a 23-13 victory over Zürich Challengers 2 in a high-scoring contest. Winning pitcher Ha. Rodriguez Martin pitched 2.1 innings in relief, while losing pitcher Ja. Freigang surrendered 10 earned runs over 3.0 innings as both offenses combined for 36 runs.
The game featured immediate offensive action from the opening inning. Early run-producing hits from Jose Antonio Medina Reyes, a sacrifice fly by Yohandris Pedroso Munoz, and a bases-loaded walk to Clemens Lombriser helped establish an early lead. The opposition countered with run-scoring plays of their own, including RBIs from Hayden Jung-Goldberg and Jordi Bucher. Throughout the middle innings, the run total climbed rapidly as both sides capitalized on wild pitches, walks, and defensive misplays. Arberim Rudaj, Elvis Del Valle Diaz, Kelvis Carmelo Garcia Rondon, Carlos Moreno, and Pedroso Munoz consistently reached base and drove in runs to widen the margin. Despite response rallies powered by Fabrizio Bucher, Jack Siemers, and Jung-Goldberg, the high-powered offense kept pressing. Late-inning offensive bursts featuring RBI singles from Del Valle Diaz and Garcia Rondon, along with defensive errors and bases-loaded hit-by-pitches, extended the lead to 23-13. Ha. Rodriguez Martin secured the win on the mound allowing five earned runs across 2.1 innings, while Ja. Freigang took the loss after allowing 13 hits and 10 earned runs in 3.0 innings.
