🥎 PREMIER CUP – DAY 2
Princ vs. Bollate Softball 0:7
What a game! Despite the result, this was one we really enjoyed playing. When you face last year’s Premier Cup champions and the best team in Europe in 2025, you know exactly what kind of challenge is waiting for you.
We held Bollate scoreless through the first two innings. The third inning was the only one where things really got away from us – an error, a sacrifice bunt, a single and then several connected hits allowed them to score five runs.
Apart from that inning, our defense worked really well. We played six innings, and Bollate had to work hard to get runners on base. Offensively, as expected, their pitching was a big challenge, but with every game our hitters are getting better and more comfortable facing pitching at this level.
⭐ MVP: Cera Blanchard, who had a great outing in the circle. In 3 innings pitched, she allowed 4 hits and 2 earned runs while recording 3 strikeouts.
Princ vs. Rivas Madrid 0:5
After watching our first game of the day and seeing how well we competed, Rivas came out against us with their strongest lineup.
Unfortunately, defensive errors hurt us, especially in the first inning when Rivas scored three runs. After that, we settled down and played a much stronger game.
Our offense continues to improve with every game. We’re still waiting for that first run, but we’ve already faced some of the strongest teams in the tournament and every at-bat against this level of pitching is valuable experience for our players.
⭐ MVP: Tihana Hrženjak, who reached base twice, recorded a hit and did a great job behind the plate, catching and leading our pitchers throughout the game.
🗓 Today we play at 20:30 against Merchtem Cats (BEL) 🇧🇪.
One game at a time – let’s keep getting better! 💪🥎
