L&D Amsterdam Pirates vs. ADO Lakers

At Amsterdam, L&D Amsterdam Pirates won 10-0 in eight innings vs. ADO Lakers to win its sixth game in a row. It was a speedy game, lasting less than 2½ hours and so, Amsterdam had to wait awhile for the result of the game between Vaessen Pioniers and UVV to see if they would still share first place with the team from Hoofddorp. 45 minutes later, the game in Hoofddorp ended due to the curfew-rule, ending in a 4-4 tie. With that, Amsterdam took sole possession of first place in the Dutch big league.
