Amsterdam Pirates wins big at UVV
Nederlands
VLEUTEN (Neth.) - L&D Amsterdam Pirates won 13-2 at UVV in an 8-inning, mercy-rule game on Thursday-evening (June 11).

In its first game after losing the European Cup-final last Sunday in Paris (France), Amsterdam collected 13 basehits and scored runs in six in eight innings played. Besides reaching base on 13 hits, the Amsterdam-batters also received 14 walks from three UVV-pitchers, who struckout only two batters.

(June 11)




Amsterdam Pirates opened the score with two runs in the first at bat off of starter Kevin Noordzij. It was an at bat with three errors, a double play and only one basehit. Roelie Henrique led off with a walk, then advanced when a pick-off attempt ended in an error. Next, Michael Duursma also walked, but then Nick Urbanus lined into a double play. Moments later, Henrique scored the first run when Kenny Berkenbosch reached second base on a throwing error. Hereafter, Remco Draijer walked, then the next run was scored on a single by Bas Nooij. The basehit was followed by an outfield-error, enabling Draijer to move to third base, but he stranded there.

The next run was scored in the second inning. With one out, Linoy Croes reached on a bunt-single. Hereafter, Roelie Henrique also singled, followed by an outfield-error, which led to runners on first and third base. The bases got loaded when Michael Duursma reached on a bunt-single and the run was then scored on a sac-fly by Nick Urbanus, but two runners were left behind.

In the third, Amsterdam scored its fourth run. With Remco Draijer (hit by pitch), Bas Nooij (walk) and Rashid Gerard (walk) on the bases and one out, a pitching change was made. Timo van Ancum took over, but he was greeted with a runscoring single by Linoy Croes. The inning then ended when a flyout by Roelie Henrique ended in a double play.

Pirates took more distance by scoring three runs in the fourth inning, thanks to a 2-run double by Kenny Berkenbosch and a sac-fly by Bas Nooij.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, UVV scored its two runs off of Dennis Burgersdijk, who had taken over the pitching from starter Rob Cordemans in the fourth at bat. Looking ahead, this means that Cordemans will be the probable starter for Amsterdam on Tuesday-evening in the make-up game against Curaçao Neptunus. In this at bat, with one out, Norbert Jongerius and Jordan Illis singled. They then scored on a double by Dennis Ribbens and a grounder by Jamie Verheyleweghen.

In the top of the sixth, Amsterdam rallied for four runs to lift the lead to 11-2. With the bases loaded, the first run was scored on a single by Jesse Aussems, then a wild pitch accounted for the next run. A single by Jorin van Amstel and, after a pitching change, a sacrifice fly by Roelie Henrique then brought in the next two runs.

The 10-run difference was reached by scoring two more runs in the eighth inning. A single by Nick Urbanus and sac-fly by Remco Draijer increased the score to 13-2.

In the bottom of the eighth, Burgersdijk retired the side to end the game.
