Bonn Capitals clinch Interleague top spot and book playoff quarterfinal

The Bonn Capitals secured first place in the German Baseball Interleague by winning two consecutive away games against the Heidenheim Heideköpfe, posting scores of 12‑2 on Saturday and 12‑3 on Sunday. The sweep, highlighted by McCoy Pearce’s three‑run homer and Daniel Sánchez Reyes’s two‑run blast in the first game, and a three‑run triple by Josef Rosenthal plus a three‑run homer from Simon Bäumer in the second, gave the Capitals the series win and the league’s top seed.

Coach Florian Nehring praised the team’s focus and performance, noting the victory positions Bonn as the best team heading into the playoffs. The Capitals will face the Stuttgart Reds, the wildcard winner from the southern division, in the quarter‑finals scheduled for mid‑August at Bonn’s Dedecke‑Field.
