Neptunus wins second game; hands Brno second loss
Nederlands
ROTTERDAM (Neth.) -
Curaçao Neptunus won its second game of the European Cup Tournament, beating Draci Brno (Czech Republic) 6-1 on Wednesday-evening (June 3).
With this result, the Czechs have now suffered two losses.
Despite hitting 14 basehits, Neptunus scored only six runs and led only 3-1 after the fourth inning.
However, the lead never was in jeopardy, as the Czech opponent was held to only four hits by four pitchers.
Day 2 began with an 8-1 victory of Rimini Pirates (Italy) vs. KNTU Elizavetgrad (Ukraine).
Rimini collected 10 basehits, including three by Riccardo Bertagnon.
Winning pitcher Filippo Bertolini struckout 10 batters in 6 2/3 innings.
In the afternoon, Heidenheim Heideköpfe (Germany) won 5-1 vs. Templiers Sénart (France).
The Germans collected ten basehits, including three by Aaron Dunsmore, who was robbed on a homerun in the third inning.
He drove the ball into rightfield, where it landed on top of the fence, but instead of bouncing over it, the ball bounced back to the field to remain in play.
