Super Cup
We're just one day away from finding the new European club champion in men's fastpitch.
Hippos Havlickuv Brod (CZE) has still not been defeated throughout the whole tournament, they made their way to the first semifinal by winning their round robin and not losing once in the double elimination round. They ruled their quarterfinal game against Bulls from Denmark, they won 8-0 in the fifth inning.
Spectrum Praha (CZE), the second semifinalist, only lost once, early in the tournament, against Hoofddorp Pioniers (NED). Despite that loss, they placed first in their round robin group and made their way to the semifinal just like their Czech opponents from Havlickuv Brod.
