The Austrian national team had to concede defeat to Italy by 2:11 minutes at the European Under-23 Championships at home on Friday. With eight runs left, the Guests made the decision in the fourth.
The Italians started better at Ducksfield Wiener Neustadt. The favorites led 2-0 at half time. The Italians made it 3-0 in the third period. Then Georg Stemmer and Eoghan McGarry pitched the Austrians’ first two innings, but the response from the green-white-red selection wasn’t long in coming: With eight runs total, the Italians pulled to 11:2. Neither starting pitcher Lenard Halper nor reliever Marcus Tremmell could stop him. Visitors attack at this point.
