The Czechs got the highest win at the tournament so far after beating Great Britain 18:0 in a three-inning ballgame. Michal Preclík pitched a no-hitter and Václav Šrétr hit his first homerun of the tournament. The Czechs scored six in the first on three walks, a hit-by-pitch and two hits. Three more runs in the second and nine in the third, including Šrétr’s two-run blast, gave them a fast and easy win.

“The biggest difference was in the pitchers. Our third pitcher didn’t have a problem with the British team. For us it was mostly a running game, as we didn’t get too many good pitches to hit,“ said Czech coach Dušan Šnelly.

“It was a crazy game. Everything is about pitchers. There was pretty much only one team in play the entire time - and it wasn’t us. It didn’t even matter we played today two games. Our pitcher wasn’t up to the level of the Czech squad,“ said Joshua Peat, GB coach.
