This weekend, April 17th and 18th, 2026, we participated in the SuperCup tournament in Mainz, Germany with the Euro Unicorns team. The organizer invited us and we gladly accepted the invitation – what better training than playing against talented German kids from the same category?<\/p>\n

The girls and their parents arrived from Czech Republic, Germany, Austria and Slovakia\u00a0 in Mainz (Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany) the day before.<\/p>\n

Basically each of them had at least a 6-hour journey behind them, some traveled up to 10 hours! (that\u00b4s what we call – a dedication!)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Saturday started at eight in the morning with a warm-up. After that, we participated in the Masters competition, where the girls completed the interplay \u2013 we started training for that only an hour before the competition, since we last played with this lineup in February \"\ud83d\ude42\"<\/p>\n

The next discipline was running. The girls really had nothing to be ashamed of there \u2013 they were very fast and completed all the goals as needed. The third discipline was the tripod shot put \u2013 we still have a lot to practice there, as well as the long throw, which was the fourth discipline.<\/p>\n

At the end, our Unicorns finished in the upper half of the Masters rankings.<\/p>\n

The first match awaited us at 9:00 against the home team Mainz Athletics<\/a>. The girls were still recovering from the masters and only started to fully perceive the game in the second half of the match. They gradually started to play, but the end came quickly \u2013 we conceded 13 points and only managed to give one. The match ended 13:1 in favor of Mainz.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The second match we played against the Friedberg Braves<\/a> team \u2013 it is the home team of our Emily,<\/a> who warned us in advance that her team is strong and catches and throws well. Despite the previous loss, the girls threw themselves into the fight and fought beautifully until the end. The result was 10:9 for the Euro Unicorns.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

An hour later we played against Hamburg Stealers<\/a> \u2013 Zo\u00e9<\/a>\u2019s home team, whose brother plays for this team. Here the girls started to fully perceive the game, they were focused, we started to move them around into new positions and set up a strong inner field. Despite our efforts, we lost 5:10.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

After another break, we had a match against K\u00f6ln Cardinals <\/a>\u2013 an energetic team that played aggressively from the first second. The girls defended, shot, were amazing, but after a long game we lost by a narrow 9:10. This match ended Saturday for us and was followed by a dinner together \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Despite three losses, the girls were satisfied, as were the coaches<\/strong>. Every match was even and the opponents did not get a single free point. The girls played with balance, with a smile and listened to the coaches\u2019 advices.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

On Sunday, we had another match against Friedberg Braves \u2013 and we managed to win again, this time 9:6.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After Saturday we had a better idea of \u200b\u200bwhat to expect. We watched the girls, tried to change positions and in the end we managed to put together a strong team.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The match against Future Stars<\/a> \u2013 multiple winners of the Czech SuperCup<\/a> (Hlubok\u00e1 nad Vltavou) followed. As couches we were prepared for everything. However…<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

They shot amazingly, threw accurately, played fast but with balance. After overtime we lost by a single point 11:12. All the spectators came to watch this match \u2013 the atmosphere was amazing and the girls played an excellent match.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The third match on Sunday was against Solingen Alligators<\/a>. We already had a stable infield, we changed the outfield slightly, as one player had to leave early. Despite this, we won 4:2.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The last, fourth match of the day, we noticed the girls are getting tired. We played against Karlsruhe Cougars<\/a> and we lost this match.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was a challenging weekend full of baseball, traveling, and friendships \u2013 and it was GREAT!<\/p>\n

The girls held up amazingly, playing like BASEBALL GODDESSES! They were just unbelievable…<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We keep working. The Euro Unicorns team is full of skilled and courageous baseball players and great coaches.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We thank our parents, coaches, Deutsche Baseball Academy, Ulli Wermuth, Bohumil B\u00edlek, and the SuperCup for their support \u2013 that\u2019s what motivates us.<\/p>\n
