Kukolja’s no-hitter allowed Croatia to win with a single run

12.07.2015 | Marek Kratochvíl
Croatia v Israel game was quite the opposite of the opening one. Both teams showed how much they improved recently, mainly in defense. Bruno Kukolja managed to keep bases clean throughout the whole game getting no-hitter as every pitcher’s ultimate dream. Ytay Harrouche had a great game too, but allowed three hits, which resulted in a winning run made by Matej Potocki in bottom of third inning.

“Their pitcher had a perfect game. Ours wasn’t doing bad as well, but the Croats took advantage of the only chance we offered to them and we did not,” Israel’s coach Brian Klaff confirmed. “I hope we’ll meet each other again on Friday so we can get our rematch,” he added. “Fortunately, we had our best pitcher who had a no-hitter. However, we have to improve in offense, if we want to do well in playoffs on Friday,” Alen Magdalenic from team Croatia knows.
