The Challengers will face their cross-town rivals Zürich Barracudas in their best-of-5 semi-final series. The local derby was made possible thanks to a 8-5 Barracudas’ victory in a make-up game against the Bern Cardinals on Saturday. With the loss the Cardinals dropped into fourth place.

Games 1 and 2 will take place the upcoming weekend at the Heerenschürli ballpark. The games will start at 6 pm on Saturday, August 29 and at 2 pm on Sunday, August 30.
