The 3n2 Sports International Stars won the Prague Baseball Week tournament again, defeating hosts Czech Republic 4-0 on Saturday July 1, 2017. Led by GM/Manager Boomer Prinstein, and Head Coach Kevin Roovers (with assistance from coaches Ty Eriksen, Petr Novotny, and David Burns), the Stars have won 4 Prague Baseball Week titles in a 5 year span.

Offensively, the 3n2 International Stars were led by Terrell Joyce who clobbered a massive Home Run in the final to put the game out of reach. Ryosuke Sato (2H, 1 RBI) also sparked the offense and Andrew Medeiros (2H, 1R in the final) was MVP of the tournament.
For the first time, the International Future Stars (made up of top Under-23 European players) participated in the tournament and claimed 3rd place at Prague Baseball Week.
