Nederlands

LONDON, England (Great Britain) - Borgerhout Squirrels (Belgium) won 8-4 on Thursday (June 23) in a rainshortened game against Stal Kutno (Poland) on Day 3 of the Federations Cup Qualifier in British capital London.

With the win, the Belgians remained unbeaten and now have won three games, putting the team in a comfortable position to reach the all-deciding final. The team isn't qualified yet, based on games still to play.

The game was stopped after seven complete innings due to rain and didn't resume anymore.

Because of the heavy rain, the late-afternoon game between host London Mets and Sofia Blues (Bulgaria) was cancelled. This game was re-scheduled for Friday, starting at 1:30 PM. The original afternoon-game between te Bulgarian squad and Atletico Alexandria (Romania) was moved to start at 10 AM.

Stal Kutno vs. Borgerhout Squirrels
Both teams were very productive in the first two innings, as seven of the 12 runs were scored in those at bats.

After both teams had scored once in the opening at bat (the Polish squad stranded three runners), Borgerhout scored three runs in the second inning. An error on a sacrifice bunt gave Borgerhout a renewed lead, then Kevin Vervloet added a 2-run single to make it 4-1.

In the bottom of the second inning, Kutno came back with two runs to narrow the deficit to 4-3. With two runners on base and one out, Jakub Wojtczak tripled to bring them across the plate.

Hereafter, three scoreless innings followed, but then Borgershout added three runs in the sixth to take more distance. A wild pitch, single by Alexis Marquez and a throwing error accounted for the runs.

Both teams scored a single run again in the seventh, before the rain ended the game.

Maciej Wroblewski had three hits and scored twice for Kutno.
