Neptunus wins big in Oosterhout
Nederlands

OOSTERHOUT (Neth.) - Curaçao Neptunus shutout De Glaskoning Twins 13-0 on Saturday-afternoon (April 16) to register its second victory of the season.

For Twins, this was its first home team at the highest level since 2004, the season in which the team relegated.

Last Thursday's game also was a home-game for Twins, but as there is no light installation for evening games in the highest division at their home field, that game was played in the stadium of Neptunus in Rotterdam.

Neptunus collected 13 basehits today, including the second homerun by Gianison Boekhoudt. Dwayne Kemp, Benjamin Dille and Dashenko Ricardo all recorded three basehits.

Twins had only three basehits, two of which were hit in the seventh and last inning.

De Glaskoning Twins vs. Curaçao Neptunus
Belgian Cedric Desmedt retired the side in the first inning in his debut in the Dutch big league as starter of Twins. But the righthander then gave up three runs in the second at bat.

He walked Gianison Boekhoudt, then gave up a single to Christian Diaz, followed by a runscoring single by Dashenko Ricardo. A force play-grounder by Urving Kemp led to the second run. With two outs, Shaldimar Daantji delivered an RBI-triple that made it 3-0.

Neptunus added three runs in the third inning. Benjamin Dille led off with a double, Raily Legito walked and Gianison Boekhoudt followed with a homerun, his second of the young season.

Neptunus rallied for four runs on five hits off of reliever Anthony Vrolijk in the sixth inning to take a commanding 10-0 lead. With one out and Shaldimar Daantji (fielder's choice) and Dwayne Kemp (single) on the bases, Benjamin Dille hit a 2-run double. Singles by Raily Legito and Dashenko Ricardo later lifted the lead to 10-0.

Neptunus scored three more runs in the seventh inning off of Belgian Ben Van Nuffel. A double by Dwayne Kemp and 2-run single by Benjamin Dille accounted for the runs. Dille batted in four runs in this game.

Neptunus-starter Orlando Yntema allowed only one batter to reach base in the first four innings. That was Berry van Donselaar, who led off the second with a walk. Hereafter, Yntema retired eleven batters in a row. He then gave up a single to Stijn Janssens with two outs in the fifth, but he stranded on first base.

Yntema retired the side again in the sixth, then was relieved by Kevin Kelly in the seventh. He gave up a lead-off single to Jeffrey Arends and an one-out single to Adrian Anthony, but then retired the next two batters to end the game.
