 DSS nips Quick Amersfoort to register first exhibition-win
Nederlands
 AMERSFOORT (Neth.) -
DSS nipped Cityside Apartments Quick 7-6 on Sunday (March 12) to win its first exhibition game of the season.
On Saturday, the two teams also met and then Quick won 6-4.
Quick Amersfoort is one of the 16 teams that will play in the second highest league ('Overgangsklasse') this year.
In today's game, the lead went back and forth in what was an attractive game.
,,It was a good game, both teams were in balance'', Quick's Head Coach Marco Wels stated afterwards.
,,We have played two fine games this weekend.''
Jerry Breek, the new Head Coach of DSS, especially liked the hitting of this team today.
,,We had a lot of basehits, which was a good thing'', Breek said.
Today's game was a home game for DSS and initially was to be played in Haarlem.
However, as the home-field of DSS wasn't ready yet to be played on, the game was played at the site of Quick Amersfoort.
But it was played as a home-game for DSS.
Coming weekend, DSS participates in the 2-day Loek Loevendie Tournament of L&D Amsterdam Pirates, playing two games on both Saturday and Sunday.
Quick Amersfoort will play against Domstad Dodgers coming Saturday at its home-site, starting at 1 PM.
