The Croats scored in second inning after getting base on balls twice and an error on top. They got 3-0 ahead and kept putting on more and more runs.
Team GB scored three runs in bottom of third inning, but Croatia was still strong in offense getting into 11-3 lead after top of fifth inning. The Brits had to score twice to stay in the game, but that didn’t happen.
Croatia was given 8 bases on balls and Matej Potocki was hit by pitch twice. With that, the Croats only needed 5 hits to score 11 runs.
For Alan Magdalenic, it was a must-win game. “We needed a win and we got it. The Brits fought well, they’re young and willing to learn, but our boys played well. Now, we have to get prepared for playoffs and try to reach for a medal,” Magdalenic said.
“We played a great game. We should have win this one with the hits and RBIs we had. However, we have made way too many errors in field and gave away to many bases on balls. I agree with Alan, that the crucial difference was in pitching,” Josh Peat said.
