Lohmann and Brown Lead Denmark to a Mercy Rule Win

The Danish team played their second game of the day, this time against Croatia. After two innings, the game was still tied at zero. In the third, the Croatian team made two errors which led to a 2:0 lead for the Danes.

With the game still even at two before the bottom of the sixth, the Danish team scored two runs and after that Anton Brown hit a three-run monster shot over the center field fence and ended this match by virtue of the mercy rule - final score 7:0.

Lukas Lohmann took the pitching rubber for the Danish team in this one and pitched the second no-hit performance of the tournament. He allowed only one walk over six innings of work.

“The final score is too high for us. We played a very good game and I told my guys they’d done a pretty good job in this match. We were still in the game after the fifth inning. I would like to see our team play well in next games and get some wins,“ said Alen Magdalenic, coach of the Croatian team.

“We’ve played three games, we’ve won three games. This is an ideal start of the tournament. The Croatian team is not a bad opponent, but it was a little easier than the Monday match against the Czechs. But the win is what counts,“ said Gilles Fournier, the Danish coach.
