Pioniers completes sweep vs. HCAW
Nederlands
HOOFDDORP (Neth.) - Vaessen Pioniers completed a 3-game sweep vs. HCAW on Sunday (May 24) by winning 7-1 at home, the same score as on Saturday.

Pioniers collected 14 basehits today, including three by Kevin Dirksen.

Veteran outfielder Dirk van 't Klooster had one basehit today and is closing in on another milestone. The all-time basehit-leader now has 1197 basehits and so, he needs only three to become the first player in history with 1200 career basehits.

The first opportunity to add to his basehit-total comes Thursday-evening when Pioniers opens a 3-game series at Corendon Kinheim, where the team also plays on Saturday. Pioniers closes the series at home on Sunday.

(May 24)




It was HCAW that opened the score in the second inning off of starter Reggie Bomberg. Jarreau Martina led off with a single and moved on a single by Gianni Frolijk. Two following grounders by Rowan van Hoek and Rikkert Kempen then brought him across home plate to give HCAW an 1-0 lead.

The lead not only was shortlived, it also was HCAW's lone run of the day.

In the fourth inning, Boyd Tuhumury and Gianni Frolijk, who both singled, were on base with one out. A double-steal then failed, as Tuhumury was caught stealing at third base. Next, Frolijk advanced on an infield-hit by Rowan van Hoek, but he overran third base and was eliminated.

In the sixth and eighth inning, HCAW left a runner in scoring position.

Trailing 1-0, Pioniers answered with two runs in the bottom of the second inning off of starter Maickel Rietel. Mark-Jan Moorman and Kevin Dirksen began with singles to put runners on first and third base. A force out-grounder by Kevin Weijgertse followed, but that also led to the tying run. With two outs, Max Draijer singled to bring Weijgertse to third base and he then scored on a following single by Danny Rombley. Draijer advanced to third base on the single by Rombley. The ball was thrown to third base from the outfield, then third baseman Rowan van Hoek threw the ball to first base where Rombley got into a rundown and was eliminated to end the inning.

Pioniers added its next run in the third inning. With two outs, Vince Rooi walked and went on to score on a single by Kevin Dirksen.

The home team took more distance by scoring two runs in the fourth at bat. Daniel Fernandes led off with a single and stole second base, then moved on an one-out single by Danny Rombley and scored on a passed ball. Rombley went on to score the next run on a following single by Dirk van 't Klooster, which was career hit number 1197.

Pioniers made it a 6-1 score in the fifth inning when Kevin Dirksen singled with one out and scored on a double by Daniel Fernandes.

The seventh run was scored in the eighth. With one out, Danny Rombley reached on an error, then scored on a 2-out single by Vince Rooi.

Elton Koeiman took over the pitching for Bomberg in the sixth inning and threw three scoreless innings. Sedley Karel then pitched the ninth inning and saw HCAW get the bases loaded. With one out, he walked Gianni Frolijk and Rowan Hoek. With two outs, Karel loaded the bases when he also walked Brian Biezen, but he then ended the game with a strikeout.
