Ukrainian baseball season 2016 is over
Ukraine Baseball Cup has been finished. Two strong Ukrainian teams “Diamant” and well known in Europe “BioTexCom” strived for victory. This sport fight was intense and no one wanted to lose the main Cup.
The score of the first inning was 1-1. The intrigue lasted for three innings. Successful hit by Kostyantyn Chuhas helped Dmytro Nilipa and Urii Shvets to reach home base and the score became 3-1. At that moment fans realized there would not be fifth game…
This moment was really turning point and the team of Urii and Oleg Boiko calmly brought the game to win with a score 6-1, and 3-1 in the series. Nineteenth Ukrainian Cup was won by the “BioTexCom” baseball team. Andriy Boiko, the youngest player of the team received the Cup during the awarding ceremony. By the way he is one of three sons of Urii Boiko, team’s coach.
The “Diamant” team played rather well. Baseball players fought for victory with dignity and won silver. This is the second silver “Diamant” gets during the annual Ukraine Baseball Cup. Fans and experts note finals were great. It was interesting to watch this baseball game. Both teams deserve kind words and gratitude!
During the awarding ceremony of the Ukrainian Baseball Cup “BioTexCom” team received the Cup and “Diamant” was awarded with silver. During the ceremony FBSU Vice President Volodymyr Kovalev also announced good news.
Playing coach of “BioTexCom” team Ruslan Deikun together with the coach of “CYSS Diamant” Sergiy Limarenko were awarded an honorary title Merited Coach of Ukraine. Under their able leadership, Ukrainian cadet teams three times reached medal positions during European championships. It`s difficult to imagine how many boys were taken off the street due to Sergiy Limarenko`s and Ruslan Deikun`s baseball trainings.
The wins of our youth team is a bright page of the Ukrainian baseball history. One of them is against Russian National Team (3-0, and 7-5 in the final) at the European Championship 2016 in Israel.
National Team of Ukraine contains 13 players of the most famous in Ukraine Kropyvnytskiy Baseball School: Bytjak Volodymyr, Chuhas Kostyantyn, Zhantalay Yevgen, Chuhriy Vitalij, Gvrytyshvily Georgiy, Lyahovetsky Mykola, Kosenko Vladyslav, Boiko Konstantyn, Boiko Oleksiy, Kljujenko Yaroslav, Ljubchenko Yegor, Rogach Kyrylo and Savchenko Oleksij. Also there are players from Rivne Kilievich Dmytro, Kurylchuk Artur, Levandovskyy Bogdan and Andriy Kostashchuk from Chernivtsi.
Such achievements are very important. So youth team players, under the leadership of Urii Boiko, Oleg Boiko and Sergiy Limarenko, were awarded the title Master of sports of international class. Congrats to sportsmen and their coaches!
That was Ukrainian baseball season 2016. It was interesting, successful and had a lot of positive moments.
Such success of Ukrainian baseball players owes greatly to the sponsor`s help of “BioTexCom” company and Olexandr Lagodnyy personally. The last one productively cooperates with coaches, players and baseball fans. If such success of the National Team will continue, the company promised to provide greater financial support. Moreover, they are going to organize a training trip to the homeland of baseball – the USA. Also in the near future company plans opening of the representative office there. Good luck to Ukrainian baseball and it`s sponsor!
It was a nice baseball season. I live in Germany. But I played baseball in Ukraine. I was a pitcher in Biotexcom team. Thus, I try to watch their games even now. It is hard to work in such conditions. I know it first-hand. Nevertheless, they win! No matter whether there is money or not. They just live with this game. It is their hobby and life at the same time. You know, players have work. They earn money for living working on different simple jobs. But they have baseball in their hearts. It so sad they cannot play on the professional level. I mean earn money playing baseball.
