 Cordemans leads Amsterdam to win against Twins
Nederlands
 AMSTERDAM (Neth.) -
L&D Amsterdam Pirates won 8-1 on Friday-evening (May 5) against De Glaskoning Twins.
While Twins was the home team, the game was played in Amsterdam, due to the insufficient lighting installation in Oosterhout.
Twins will play all its evening-games this season at the site of the opponent.
Veteran Rob Cordemans threw six strong innings for the Amsterdam-squad.
The righthander struckout four batters and gave up only three basehits.
Amsterdam scored six runs off of rookie starter Jan Evertse, who was not even born when Cordemans first pitched in the big league.
Evertse was born in November 1995.
At that moment, Cordemans already had pitched two seasons at the highest level.
From now on, Amsterdam Pirates has to do without powerhitter Kalian Sams.
The outfielder has left for Canada to start another professional season there, playing for Les Capitales de Québec in an Independent League.
The team opens a trainingcamp on May 8, then starts the new season on May 18.
Today's game was played on Friday, instead of Thursday.
On Thursday, May 4, it was Memorial Day in the Netherlands.
Today, May 5, it was Liberation Day, which is a national holiday.
