The national team played for the first time in the semifinals. By dark and cloudy conditions closed to rain there was only enough light for five innings to take pictures. Even at ISO 1600. The Croatians crushed the national teams hope of reaching the finals by a 13 – 3 seven inning win.. They went on to beat Ireland and will move up in the A pool. As I went home to attend the Rolling Stones concert at the Duebendorf military airfield the national team lost to Belgium and ended the tournament in fourth place.
