Great Britain’s 2010 European Championship came to a disappointing end yesterday in Neuenburg, Germany. Pat Doyle’s men narrowly lost their final First Round game 4-3 to Greece in ten innings. The result means Great Britain will finish fourth in Group B, just outside the top three places that lead to qualification for the Second Round. However, GB still has a chance to compete for seventh-place overall at the Euros, which would guarantee them a bid for the 2012 European Championships in Holland. (Holland is offered a complimentary spot as hosts, which means the six next-best teams are provided berths.) Continue reading →

Great Britain returned to .500 in Group B of the European Championship after defeating Spain 5-1 on Monday in Stuttgart. A solo homerun by Matt McGraw (3-3, BB) broke a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the sixth. Three more runs in the seventh gave the team of head coach Pat Doyle some insurance. Daniel Sanchez had tied the game for Spain in the top of the fifth with a solo homerun.

Italy also won its third game of the European Championship easily, defeating Great Britain 12-2 in seven innings. Anthony Granato became the third batter of the Squadra Azzurra in the last three games to go deep twice in a game, going 3-for-5 with three runs and three RBI overall. Laidel Chapelli had another nice day at the plate. He collected a home run, three singles, two runs and three RBI in four at-bats. The British team only was able to avoid the shutout with a two-run shot by Sam Wiley in the seventh. But it was not enough to get a rally going.

Sweden has its first win at the 2010 European Championship. Joakim Claesson (W 1-0) and a strong defensive performance lifted them to a 4-1 win over Great Britain on Saturday afternoon in Stuttgart. The right-hander from Stockholm went 8 2/3 innings, allowing one run on nine hits and four walks. He got some help from his defense, which turned five double plays in the game, erasing several scoring opportunities for the British squad. Continue reading →
