The third meeting between DOOR Neptunus and Corendon Kinheim was called off today in Rotterdam.
After a brief, but heavy, rainshower of some 40 minutes, the field in the Neptunus Familiestadion was blanked.
While the weather cleared after the rain and the weather conditions improved, the field remained wet and was declared inplayable by the umpire crew.
The game is re-scheduled for next Tuesday.
On Thursday, May 16, the first game of the first 3-game series between Neptunus and Kinheim also rained out in Rotterdam.
The game was re-scheduled for the next day, but then rained out again and was moved to the following Tuesday-evening.
Then, on Saturday, the scheduled second game of the series, also was cancelled due to the condition of the playing field in Rotterdam, as is was impossible to remove water from the field, and was re-scheduled for Monday.
On Sunday, the original third game of the series between the two teams was played in Haarlem with Kinheim winning, 3-0.
On Monday-afternoon, back in Rotterdam, the make-up game of Sunday rained out for another time and was re-scheduled for Tuesday, May 28.
On Tuesday-evening, May 21, the make-up game of initial first match-up, again had to be cancelled due to rain, marking the fifth time in six days that a game between Neptunus and Kinheim rained out in Rotterdam.
A new date was not announced at that time, as a new 3-game series was approaching, while Kinheim also had to participate in the European Cup Qualifier early June.
On May 28, the original Game 2 could be played in Rotterdam with Neptunus winning, 8-5.
The original Game 1 finally could be made up on June 18 and was won by Kinheim, 6-2.
