Tempo Prague vs Trebic

Třebíč entered the ninth inning trailing 11–8 after Tempo scraped two runs across in the bottom of the eighth. The Nuclears sent nine men to the plate in the top of the ninth against three Tempo pitchers (Jan Helmich, Marcus Fukuhara, and eventual winner Jake Rabinowitz). Fukuhara faced four batters without recording an out, walking two and allowing three hits. By the time Rabinowitz entered, the damage was done: 13–13.

Rabinowitz stranded the go-ahead run at third by striking out Gabriel Bracamonte. That escape kept Tempo alive — and Coleman made them pay an inning later.

• Michael Coleman (Tempo): 3-for-4, 4 runs scored, 2 RBI, 2 stolen bases. Reached base five times and scored the walk-off run.
• Keibert Petit (Tempo): 1-for-2 with a two-run home run (pinch-hit appearance), 2 RBI, 1 run.
• Matěj Netopilík (Třebíč): 3-for-5, 2 RBI, 2 runs, 1 stolen base. The catalyst of Třebíč's ninth-inning rally.
• Jake Rabinowitz (Tempo): Winning pitcher — 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K. Entered with the game tied in the ninth, got the crucial strikeout, and recorded the win.

Player of the match: Michael Coleman (Tempo Prague)

Both teams finished with 11 hits, but errors told the story: five apiece, producing nine unearned runs combined. Třebíč left nine runners on base to Tempo's six. The Nuclears' bullpen — Jesus Gonzalez (5.2 IP, 8 R, 5 ER), Maxim Samson (2.1 IP, 3 R, 2 ER), and losing pitcher Jan Urbánek (1 IP, 3 R, 2 ER) — could not contain Tempo's lineup late. Tempo's own relievers (David Mergans and Marcus Fukuhara) combined for 1.1 IP, 7 H, 8 R, though Rabinowitz and Jan Helmich steadied at the end.

Tempo (now 3-0 in the relegation round after sweeping Třebíč) sits tied atop the Nadstavba o Extraligu table with Hluboká and SaBaT, each at 2-1 through the opening weekend — though Tempo's sweep gives them the best round record (3-0 if the weekend is counted). Třebíč (1-2) falls into a tie with Arrows and Technika. The bottom four finishers after the relegation round face a play-down, making every win critical.

Tempo visit Technika Brno next (6 September), while Třebíč host Hluboká (5-6 September).

A chaotic, error-strewn game that Tempo seemed to have sewn up twice — once in the sixth, once in the eighth — before Třebíč's ninth-inning fightback forced extras. Tempo's depth at the plate (10 RBI from six different players) and Rabinowitz's composure in the ninth made the difference. The Nuclears will rue five errors and a bullpen that couldn't get a clean inning when it mattered most.
