Initially, a double-header was scheduled for today, but on Saturday, both teams decided to play only one game.
One of the reasons for this was to prevent that pitchers were overthrowing in the first weekend outdoors.
Another reason was to enable the opponent to travel back in time to Saarlouis, which is the capital of the southwestern state of Saarland in Germany, near the French border.
The distance from Amersfoort is 466 km (290 m) and its takes some 4Y hours by car.
On Saturday, the game remained scoreless for three innings, but today, Quick Amersfoort opened the score in the second inning and from there, the team took more distance.
Quick produced a good amount of basehits, including doubles by Joran Berkhout and Rowan van Hoek.
Rookie Head Coach Glenn Romney used four pitchers.
Starter Sem Robberse, who last season pitched for HCAW, threw the first four innings.
Like on Saturday, Quick faced a pitcher of its own in the last inning.
On Saturday, Taylor Clemensia pitched for the German squad, today, it was Mark Kolner.
