The Russian Eurocup teams MGPU and Tornado Balashikha take 3 out of 4 from Severne Zvezdy and Moskvich respectively. Tornado establishes a fine lead for the moment, however MGPU has a chance to catch up as the two strong Moscow teams are squaring off this week. This will be a good preparation for both teams heading into the Eurocup competitions the week after. Moskvich wasn’t able to manage much against Tornado, but the one victory leaves them with a 4 – 4 record, which they can quickly improve against a weak Patrioty team this week.

  1. I saw a report that Pat Ahearne is going to play for Tornado Balashikha in the European Cup. Is he planning to play any games in the Russian domestic league either before the European Cup or after?

  2. Yes he will be pitching for Tornado Balashikha! However, his schedule doesn’t allow for travel to Russia so he won’t be playing in the Russian League. He’s coming to Austria this weekend and will workout before the Eurocup next week. I’ll be able to post some pictures and video of him throwing by saturday or sunday.

  3. Many thanks!
