UVV shuts out The Hawks in game with four ejections
Nederlands
VLEUTEN (Neth.) - UVV shutout Mampaey The Hawks 2-0 on Saturday (May 30).

There were only two runs and only eleven basehits in this game, but the story of the game might by the ejections of two pitchers and two coaches.

(May 30)




UVV opened the score in this game in the second inning off of starter Evan Simons. With one out, Omar Williams doubled, moved to third base on a bunt-single by Mike Bazuin, then scored on a sacrifice fly by Norbert Jongerius.

In the top of the third, Lejeune Francisca doubled for The Hawks, but he was left on second base.

The Hawks then got two baserunners in the fourth. With one out, Steven Wharwood singled and with two outs, Brian Raap was hit by a pitch, but they stranded when starter Jim Ploeger ended the at bat with a strikeout.

In the bottom of the fourth, UVV doubled its lead. Tony Enos and Dennis De Quint led off with a walk, then the two advanced on a sarifice bunt by Omar Williams. A sacrifice fly by Mike Bauin made it 2-0 in favor of UVV.

In the top of the fifth inning, Ploeger retired the side. The inning ended with Odion Gouverneur being tagged out (maybe a bit hard) by first baseman Jamie Verheyleweghen after a throw from short.

In the bottom of the fifth, with one out, Verheyleweghen was hit by a pitch. Hereafter, Home Plate Umpire Stenar van Groningen Schinkel warned both benches. By the way, Verheyleweghen stranded on first base.

In the top of the sixth inning, Berend Ruben singled for The Hawks with one out and reached second base on an error. After a flyout, next batter Amir Daou was hit by a pitch from Jim Ploeger, which might be the result of a strong wind blowing over the field. But as both teams had received a warning regarding hit batters, both Ploeger and UVV's Head Coach Ferenc Jongejan were ejected. Claudio Bavera took over the pitching and ended the inning with a groundout.

In the bottom of the sixth, Tony Enos led off for UVV with a single and advanced on a grounder. Next, Omar Williams reached second base on a throwing error, which brought Enos to third base. Moments later, Enos was eliminated at the plate trying to score on a grounder towards second base by Mike Bazuin, who later was caught stealing to end the inning.

In the bottom of the seventh inning, Norbert Jongerius led off with a single and stole second base with one out. Jongerius then moved to third base on a grounder, which led to a pitching change. Michel Offerman took over, but his appearance was very brief. While it appeared not to be intentionally, his third pitch hit batter Joris van Ballegooy. And, because of the warning, that led to the second dual ejection, as both Offerman and The Hawks Head Coach Eugene Henson were ejected. José Moreno became the new pitcher. He walked Gilmer Lampe to load the bases, but the home team left three runners behind.
