NLA-Team wins night game against Wil
In a make-up game on Wednesday evening the Challengers won 9-2 against the Wil Pirates, securing third place in the standings.
While the final for the Swiss Championship is already underway, with the Therwil Flyers leading 1-0 in the best-of-five series against the Zurich Barracudas, the Challengers are still working on a few make-up games against the Wil Pirates. Before they welcome the Eastern Swiss team for a doubleheader at the Heerenschürli on Saturday, the two teams met for a night game on Wednesday evening. The Challengers left no doubt about the outcome of the game from the start. Ryan Byrne started the engine with a leadoff single and scored the first run on an error, before Jack Siemers increased the lead with an RBI double, while Simon Steffen added an RBI single to make it 3-0. The second inning continued in the same style. David Grabher delivered another leadoff single and then, together with Säntis Zeller, scored the next two runs on a 2-run double by James Sanders to make it 5-0. A sign of life from the Pirates with two runs in the fourth inning was answered by Carsten Zuber with an RBI double to make it 6-2.
Pitcher Simon Steffen showed his best performance of the season. He went eight innings and gave up six hits and two runs with one walk and seven strikeouts, while Ryan Byrne and Carsten Zuber led the offense with three hits each. With this victory, the Challengers set their record at 6-7 and can no longer be pushed out of third place by the Pirates. Saturday offers the coaches another opportunity to help the youngsters get some game practice. A total of five U20 players were already in action for the Zurich team on Wednesday.
NLB-Team in Lausanne, 1st League-Team in Bern
The NLB-Team travels to Lausanne on Sunday for two placement games against the Lausanne Indians. The young Challengers team only managed to win two of twelve games in the qualifying round and thus missed the playoffs. The Indians’ record was only slightly better with three wins, meaning the two teams now face each other in the placement games for places nine to twelve. The games will take place at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on the Terrain de Chavannes.
The 1st League-Team will also play two placement games on Sunday. The Challengers’ third team will first face the Geneva Tigers at 12:30 p.m. on the Bern Allmend, before taking on the hosts Bern Cardinals at 3 p.m.
NLA-Team will face Pirates three times
After the champions Zurich Challengers missed out on reaching the finals and thus failing to defend their title, they will face the Wil Pirates three more times at the end of the season. The first encounter will take place on Wednesday evening at 6:30 p.m. in Zurich’s Heerenschürli ballpark. The other two games will take place on Saturday, September 21st at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., also in Zurich-Schwamendingen.

The season is over for the Softball-Team. The Challengers had no chance in the semifinals against their cantonal rivals Zurich Barracudas. The long list of names on the DL weighed too heavily.
While the Challengers had won the semifinals against the Barracudas in the past three years – albeit narrowly – this time they were the clear underdogs. All four duels in the qualification went to the Barracudas, while the Challengers had to mobilize the last squad. The names on the DL alone would have made for a very competitive team. Nevertheless the guests got off to a good start in the first game of the best-of-three series. Isabelle Tan scored the first run of the game after a walk and two errors. But the Barracudas also had a solid start with two runs. While the Challengers were stopped on the bases in the following innings with a double play and a pick-off, the Barracudas managed to make the preliminary decision with two runs in the second and three runs in the third inning, making it 7-1. Two hits by Carmen Lutz-Demetz were the only offensive output for the Challengers. Although the Barracudas only recorded five hits and the errors remained at the same level with two versus three and walks with seven each, the Barracudas still won the statistically relatively close game clearly with 9-1. However, softball games can rarely be won with two hits only.
Only a miracle could have extended the Challengers’ season now. Alexandra McCutcheon took over as the pitcher for the Barracudas in Game 2. The American lived up to her advance praise, allowing only three hits, three unearned runs and two walks, while sending 13 opposing batters back to the dugout with strikeouts. On the other hand, the Barracudas put on a gala performance. They recorded 21 hits and 24 runs, which allowed them to qualify for the final for the first time since 2020. For the Challengers, on the other hand, a season ended in the semifinals for the first time in four years. Given the personnel problems however, more was hardly possible. Nevertheless there were also some bright spots for the Challengers. For example, there was the strong debut year of Marianne Aellen or the positive development of Anouchka Michel. And by next spring, one or the other injury will have healed.

Softball Playoffs with Zurich derby
After the European Cup tournaments and the European Softball Championship, which Switzerland finished in a good 14th place, the decisive phase of the domestic championship begins with the playoff semifinals. The title holder Wittenbach Panthers will face the Bern Cardinals, while the second semifinal series will be played by the Zurich Barracudas and the Zurich Challengers, as in the past three years.
The Challengers have fond memories of the last three playoff semifinal series against their local rivals. In the current season, however, the Barracudas have established themselves as the second force behind the reigning champion Wittenbach. The Barracudas have won all four games against the Challengers, the last two duels by a very clear margin. While the Challengers have been able to use their greater experience to decisively defeat the young Barracudas team in the playoffs in recent years, the Greens are likely to be the favorites this year. But perhaps the Challengers can once again exploit their full potential in the semifinals. Something they have barely managed to do this season. Games 1 and 2 of the best-of-three series will take place on Saturday in Rümlang.

Cadets finish season in third place
The U15 Cadets sweep the Rümlang Kobras 2-0 in the best-of-three series for the bronze medal and take third place. After a clear victory in Game 1, the Challengers took Game 2 with a walk-off win in extra innings.
The duel for bronze in the U15 Cadets championship was a repeat of the 2023 final. And just like a year ago the Challengers prevailed in the duel between the cantonal rivals against the Rümlang Kobras. The Zurich team laid the foundation for victory in Game 1 in the second inning. The C’s scored three runs from five hits, including a triple by Yannik Hobi and an RBI double by Noam Müller. One inning later they extended their lead to 6-2, also thanks in part to some errors by the Kobras. This broke their resistance and the Challengers added a few more runs to ultimately secure a 15-3 win.
The second game of the day remained dramatic until the last pitch. The Kobras once again gave everything they had and took a 2-0 lead in the second inning. But the Challengers also saved a few highlights for Game 2. Yannik Hobi opened the bottom half of the second inning with a solo home run and after a single by Jimmy Siemers, Ilai Blickenstorfer followed up with a 2-run home run over the center field fence. The Kobras took the lead again with two runs in the fourth inning to make it 4-3. Before the Challengers’ last attack, the score was still the same. But the Challengers managed to equalize. After singles by Noam Müller and Ben Dickow, Jasper Freigang made it 4-4 with an RBI groundout. In the extra inning pitcher Tyler Smith defused a bases loaded situation with no outs with his defense, giving the Challengers a chance to win it in the bottom half of the extra inning. And the C’s made short work of it. After a wild pitch Tyler Smith scored the winning run and secured the bronze medal for his team.
