Mainz stay top; Gauting "have no pitching"

While anticipating chaos in future games at their home field, the Mainz Athletics remain top of the German Budesliga's southern conference, after two hard-fought away wins at Gauting.

Update: The Gauting Indians' local paper reported the 8-0 and 18-0 drubbings rather differently. Gautig coach Matthew Laack was livid, they report. "We need to wake up and realise that we are men, and stop playing like children," he is reported to have said. "We have no pitching."
