The Challengers softball team closed out a run of five wins in barely 30 hours with a triple-header sweep of SG Flyers/Panthers at Klopstockwiese, sealing home-field advantage for the fourth playoff spot heading into the wild card round.
Game one was the most one-sided of the three, a 21-2 win built on a combined no-hitter from Vianne Benz and Kirsten Schmidt, with Schmidt (2 hits, 4 RBIs), Marina Vaccaro (2 hits, 3 RBIs), Lara Müller (2 hits, 2 RBIs) and Benz (4 RBIs) all driving in runs. Game two went 11-1, with Simona Cellar's two hits including an inside-the-park home run, Karen Hendren adding two hits of her own, and Simone Zurschmitten going four innings on the mound, allowing just one run on two hits. The nightcap brought a second no-hitter of the day, this time from Carmen Lutz-Demetz, who backed up four innings of two-run ball with two hits and three RBIs at the plate as the Challengers closed out game three 12-2.
