 Two games end in tie at Loek Loevendie Tournament
Nederlands
 AMSTERDAM (Neth.) -
At the first day of the Loek Loevendie Tournament two of the three scheduled games were played on Saturday (March 18).
The tournament continues on Sunday, weather permitting.
Host L&D Amsterdam Pirates today played two 5-innings games.
In the morning, the team faced DSS and in the afternoon, it played against De Glaskoning Twins.
Both games ended in an 1-1 tie.
The third scheduled game between DSS and Twins was cancelled due to rainy weather conditions.
While it had rained all night long and still rained somewhat in the early morning, the tournament went underway as scheduled around 10 AM.
During the second game, it drizzled somewhat, and later, more rain led to the cancellation of the third match-up.
,,The weather wasn't favorable, but we were able to play some games'', Amsterdam Head Coach Charles Urbanus said.
,,The field was okay, but the mound started to get somewhat muddy.
It was good to be out on the field again.''
This was not the lone game that rained out today.
In Bussum, HCAW was to play against its second team, but that game was also cancelled.

L&D Amsterdam Pirates vs. De Glaskoning Twins
In the afternoon, Amsterdam Pirates again faced a small deficit, but came alongside.
Twins opened the score in the third inning off of Kevin Heijstek, who had a low pitch-count and threw all five innings for the home team.
In the third, Nick Peels doubled with two outs and scored for Twins on a single by Jamie Verheyleweghen.
In the bottom of the first inning, Amsterdam got the bases loaded off of starter Brendan Schoemaker.
With one out, Zerzinho Croes reached on an error, then Nick Urbanus singled, which led to runners on second and third base.
With two outs, Danny Rombley walked, but Schoemaker then closed with a strikeout.
Amsterdam Pirates came alongside in the fourth inning off of Schoemaker.
Linoy Croes then reached on an infield-hit and advanced on a double by Rashid Gerard.
A hard grounder towards third base by Patrick Bok followed.
That led to the elimination of Gerard, but also gave Croes the opportunity to score the tying run.
Twins-reliever Thijs Steenwijk walked a batter with one out and two outs in the fifth, but closed with a strikeout to end the inning and the game.
