190502 Puc Pol 0116

Nothing is more savoring for a team than a two-out rally. For the Polish National Team, it was staring an 0-2 record in the face with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, when it went on a five-run rally to comeback and defeat the Paris University Club 11-10 in Game #6. On a 3-2 count, Patryk Zajac singled to give Poland its first base runner. Tobiasz Swiatlowski walked and was pinch ran for by Konrad Wisniewski. A wild pitch advanced each base runner 90-feet, before Lukasz Krzemienowski tripled, scoring both (10-8). Paris then turned to Phillip Bird on the mound and made two other defensive changes, hoping to collect a final out that it would never find. Hubert Marcinowski singled, scoring Krzemienowski (10-9). Marcinowski stole second and then moved to third on a wild pitch.

Pawel Hutny walked, putting runners on the corners for Nicolas Manus. On the first pitch of the at-bat, Manus hit a shallow pop fly in right centerfield. Unfortunately for Paris, the center fielder and right fielder collided and the ball hit the ground, giving plenty of time forMarcinowski to score. Hutny sprinted at full-speed around second and third, as an errant relay throw gave him enough time to score from first and Poland walked away victorious 11-10. It was a solid day at the plate for Paris’s Ahmed Guesmia. He went 4-for-4 with three runs scored and two stolen bases to lead his team in a loss. Krzemienowski led Poland with two RBI, while going 2-for-4 with two runs scored. Poland will have a whole day to celebrate its walk off victory, before taking the field against the Stuttgart Reds tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. Meanwhile, at 0-2, the Paris University Club will look for its first tournament win tomorrow evening at 5:30 p.m. local time Stuttgart.
