Relegation Series in Baseball-Bundesliga

Berlin Sluggers challenge Pulheim Gophers for Spot in Elite League

The Pulheim Gophers will have to defend their spot in the northern division of the Baseball-Bundesliga against the Berlin Sluggers, starting this weekend. The best-of-three series begins in Pulheim on Saturday. Games two and possible three would be held on September 26 in Berlin. The Gophers had finished in seventh place in the north with a 9-23 record. The Sluggers qualified for the relegation series with a 14-10 record in the 2nd Baseball-Bundesliga. The Dohren Wild Farmers already have secured a berth in the 2010 Baseball-Bundesliga.

In the southern division there isn’t a decision made, if there will be a relegation series. The Darmstadt Whippets would get the direct promotion into the elite league. However they don’t know yet, if they will fulfill their right. If yes, the Neuenburg Atomics would play a relegation series against the Gauting Indians on October 3rd and 10th.
