SALZBURG - In an inspiring upset, huge underdog Liechtenstein shocked the baseball world today as they upended behemoth Scotland to earn a place for themselves in the European finals, as well as a permanent place in baseball lore. Today's performance will leave its memories imprinted on the minds of all who watched for years to come with moments such as starter Franz Hatz's complete game one-hitter, which came despite being nailed by balls hit off his opponent's bats twice. His effort was so heroic that on one of those balls, he managed to make the play to first before commencing to writhe in pain. The other ball that collided with him was the only hit that Scotland had all game. Another ecstatic moment for Liechtenstein was first baseman Joseph von Straten's 4th inning grand slam, which broke open a game that had until that moment been a defensive stalemate. Liechtenstein added another two runs in the 7th to seal the deal. For their part, Scotland cannot be said to really have had a bad game, although their offense was completely shut down, most attribute that to Hatz's masterful pitching which would have dumbfounded any team. The high-caliber Scottish squad just couldn't answer Liechtenstein's sudden dominance. On this day, Liechtenstein could have undoubtedly defeated any team in the world. Of course, the Scots will doubtless still be disappointed, having what looked to be a very promising run cut short by a 14 seed, albeit one that is playing like a 1 seed. Liechtenstein has never been much of a power in the baseball world before, with this win easily making their VWBC performance so far Liechtenstein baseball's greatest achievement ever. Aside from their current run, Liechtenstein's meager credential's were headlined by their reaching the quarterfinals of the 1985 European Baseball Coalition Championships. Apart from the fact that reaching the quarterfinals doesn't seem to be too big of an achievement anyway, this tournament was one of the many held for the fractured baseball federations before the VWBC, and it did not include many of the European powers like Italy, Germany, or any British squads. Now, this small but wealthy nation is rejoicing, with the streets of Vaduz filled with jubilant celebraters even now, three hours after the conclusion of the game, with no sign of the rejoicing letting up. Once they are done basking in the current glory, Liechtenstein will turn their attention to the European final against England, easily the biggest match in the history of Liechtenstein baseball.
