Starter Willy Schaub (0-1) was roughed up for six runs in the first two innings by the Braves. He started the game by walking the first four batters, of which three scored.

Oliver Labhart made his first appearance this season as he relived in the top of the third. He allowed five runs to score - two of them unearned - on three hits and two walks. He also struck out five.

Labhart was relieved after two innings by Tobias Siegrist. He allowed six runs, but just one of them was earned because of four errors by the Challengers' defense in the final two innings.

Rookie Sami Mikkonen went 1-for-4 to stay atop the batting average leaders.
