Round-robin calls
8-for-10
Day 5 was 1-for-2 after four straight clean direction days.
/ CONFEDERATION CUP / DAY 5 RECAP / JUNE 19 / 2026
Day 5 moved the round-robin board to 8-for-10. Brasschaat's 11-5 win is a real offensive warning, but Hroši protected all five previously used pitchers and rested four of its five top Day 4 bats. The final update must price both truths.

Round-robin calls
8-for-10
Day 5 was 1-for-2 after four straight clean direction days.
Day 5 runs
19
Against 21.4 projected; the distribution, not the aggregate, was the miss.
Tactical weight
35%
Applied to G9 after pitcher protection and batting-core rest.
Final call
61.9%
Hroši remain favorites in the rotation-aware model.
/ Reality check
The aggregate total stayed close, but the two games landed at opposite extremes: G9 reached 16 runs while G10 produced only three, all unearned.
Miss. Brasschaat's core lineup punished reserve pitching; the final transfer value is lower than the scoreboard margin.
Winner hit, run model missed badly: four pitchers combined for three unearned runs and 17 strikeouts.
/ Tactical assessment
The inference comes from official usage: all five previously used Hroši pitchers were protected and four of five top Day 4 bats were absent.
Pitching deployment
Čech and Schwarzinger handled all 8 innings; none of Hroši's 5 previously used pitchers appeared.
The replay exposed almost none of the likely final pitching plan.
Damage concentration
Schwarzinger: 4.0 IP, 13 H, 9 ER.
Nine of Brasschaat's 11 runs came against one reserve/two-way arm.
Batting-order protection
Jacques, Johnson, Alvarez Amatima and Ondroušek were absent from the Day 4 impact core.
Hroši still produced 5 runs, 9 hits and 8 walks.
Brasschaat form
15 hits and 4 home runs.
The contact and power signal remains real after discounting opponent pitching quality.
Final-day workload
Brasschaat used 160 pitches; Hroši used 109, with zero from its previously used staff.
Hroši protected more of the likely final inventory.
/ Final table
Rouen finish 2-2 with a +14 run differential after two opening one-run losses, but remain one win short of the final.
The only unbeaten team and the cleanest earned round-robin result.
The first loss came with the primary pitching staff protected and four top Day 4 bats absent.
A strong recovery from two one-run opening losses, but still one win short of the final.
Seven scoreless innings from Pereira could not overcome two unearned runs.
The round robin ends with the tournament's heaviest run-prevention damage.
/ Table mechanics
Brasschaat own first place and the best TQB. Rouen's +14 differential confirms the recovery, even though the standings keep them third.
| Team | Rec. | RF | RA | RD | TQB |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4-0 | 42 | 21 | +21 | 0.695 | |
| 3-1 | 31 | 21 | +10 | 0.312 | |
| 2-2 | 32 | 18 | +14 | 0.424 | |
| 1-3 | 16 | 26 | -10 | -0.318 | |
| 0-4 | 20 | 55 | -35 | -1.168 |
Brasschaat finish 4-0 with the best TQB. Rouen finish third despite a better run differential than Hroši, confirming how costly the two opening one-run losses were.
/ Player impact
Tactical deployment changes how the team result transfers to the final. It does not erase individual performance.
