Neptunus wins big after surprise loss
Nederlands
BUSSUM (Neth.) - After suffering a surprise loss on Saturday, Dutch champion Curaçao Neptunus today (Sunday, April 19) won 14-2 in seven innings at HCAW. Neptunus collected 17 basehits, including three by Urving Kemp and Shaldimar Daantji. Both also batted in three runs, while Gianison Boekhoudt batted in four. Dwayne Kemp homered for Neptunus.

Diegomar Markwell pitched the first six inning for Neptunus, then Loek van Mil threw the seventh and last inning.
Sander Helmendach started for HCAW and was followed on the mound by Bob Klaarenbeek, Steven van Groningen, Marco Schel and Tony Kreisel.

Neptunus led 10-2 after four innings, then added four more runs in the seventh to reach the 10-run difference.

Before the game, the ceremonial first pitch was thrown by former HCAW-player Clive Mendes. Today's game was the 1,700th played by HCAW in the highest Dutch baseball-league. HCAW became the first club in history to reach this mark.

(April 19)




Neptunus decided the game in the first four at bats, scoring ten runs.

In the opening at bat, four runs were scored with two outs on five hits. After HCAW-starter Sander Helmendach had retired the first two batters, Raily Legito doubled en scored on a following single by Gianison Boekhoudt. Next, the bases got loaded when Dwayne Kemp singled and Shurman Marlin walked. Hereafter, two runs were scored on a single by Urving Kemp, then Shaldimar Daantji added an RBI-double to make it 4-0.

HCAW got one run back in its first at bat off of Diegomar Markwell. With two outs, Emersson Paula reached on an error and went on to score on a single by Jarreau Martina.

Both teams scored a run in the second inning. Neptunus thanks to a force play-grounder by Gianison Boekhoudt, HCAW thanks to a single by rookie Boyd Tuhumury.

Neptunus then took more distance in the third and fourth inning. In the third, Urving Kemp singled with one out and scored on a following double by Shaldimar Daantji, which led to a pitching change. Daantji then advanced on a wild pitch and later scored on a single by Christian Diaz.

Three runs were added in the fourth inning. Lead-off hitter Gianison Boekhoudt was hit by a pitch, then Dwayne Kemp walked. One-out singles by Urving Kemp and Shaldimar Daantji then brought in two runs and a new pitcher. Steven van Groningen became HCAW's third pitcher, but was greeted with an RBI-single by Mourik Huijser that made it 10-2.

Neptunus was then held scoreless in the fifth and sixth inning, still needing at least two runs to reach the 10-run difference to end the game prematurely. Those runs, and more, came in the seventh when the Rotterdam-squad scored four runs. With one out, Benjamin Dille and Rien Vernooij singled, advanced on a wild pitch and both scored on a single by Gianison Boekhoudt. Moments later, Dwayne Kemp homered to make it 14-2.

HCAW collected only four basehits off of two pitchers. After scoring in the first and second inning, HCAW left runners on first and second base in the fourth inning. The team was retired in order in the fifth and sixth at bat, then left one runner in the bottom of the seventh off of Loek van Mil, who had taken over for Markwell.
