 Amsterdam Pirates wins twice to win Loek Loevendie Tournament
Nederlands
 AMSTERDAM (Neth.) -
L&D Amsterdam Pirates recorded two convincing victories on Sunday (March 19) on the second day of the annual Loek Loevendie Tournament.
The organizing club first won 13-0 against De Glaskoning Twins and then followed with a 9-1 win against DSS.
The day began with a come-from-behind victory for DSS against Twins.
In the bottom of the fifth and final inning, DSS trailed 6-4, but then scored three runs to win 7-6.
Two walks, two basehits and a costly error accounted for the runs.
On Saturday, the only two games were played at the tournament, which is named after one of the co-founders of the club, 'Mr. Pirates' Loek Loevendie.
Under cold and rainy conditions, Amsterdam then also played against DSS and Twins, with both games ending in an 1-1 tie.
The game between DSS and Twins was cancelled due to rain.
Because the schedule was not completely played, no tournament-winner was named.
However, whatever the result would have been of the cancelled game, Amsterdam Pirates would end up in first place and with that became the unofficial tournament-winner.
Coming weekend, Amsterdam Pirates plays two games against Pickles UVV, Saturday on the site of Houten Dragons in Houten, Sunday at home in Amsterdam.
Both games start at 2 PM.
DSS will be one of the four participating teams in the annual Jan van de Vegte Memorial Tournament of De Hazenkamp in Nijmegen.
Twins will participate in an international tournament in Belgium coming weekend.

DSS vs. De Glaskoning Twins
In the opening game today, DSS and Twins faced each other for the first time.
On Saturday, their match-up rained out.
After two scoreless innings, it was Twins that opened the score in the top of the third inning off of DSS-starter Sander Helmendach.
Nick Peels led off with a walk for Twins, which had stranded a runner on scoring position in both the first and second inning.
With Peels on first base, two flyouts followed, but next batter Melvin Perdue then reached on an error, followed by an outffield-error that put runners on second and third base.
Moments later, Peels scored on a single by Tair Vrutaal.
DSS answered with four runs off of starter Mic van de Ven.
The Haarlem-squad already had gotten a chance to open the score in the first inning, but then stranded three runners.
In the bottom of the third, DSS collected six hits to score four runs with two outs.
Odion Gouverneur led off with a single.
With two outs, Djewi Appelman also singled to bring in the tying run.
Tino van Erk followed with an RBI-double to put DSS ahead.
Tommy van de Sanden accounted for the next single and hereafter, Levine Gabriels delivered a 2-run single to make it a 4-1 score.
Next batter Sven van de Sanden also singled, but that ended the inning, as Gabriels was eliminated trying to reach third base.
Trailing 4-1, it was Twins that had a productive fifth inning, scoring five runs on three hits to take a 6-4 lead.
In the top of the fifth, Gijs Timmer became the third pitcher for DSS, but ran into problems.
He was greeted with singles from Menno Lenting and Jamie Verheyleweghen, then the bases got loaded when Melvin Perdue walked.
Both Lenting and Perdue played for DSS last season.
A run was then scored when Tair Vrutaal also walked and a sacrifice fly by Bob van der Meer narrowed the deficit to 4-3.
The bases were re-loaded when Chris Ge also walked.
Hereafter, Twins took a 7-4 lead when the bases were cleared when Mick Molenaar doubled into left-centerfield.
The lead appeared to be enough, but DSS came back in the bottom of the fifth, which would be the last inning of the game.
Belgian Matthew Latta had retired the side in the previous at bat (two strikeouts), but he now walked Kevin Nieveld and Djewi Appelman.
After Tino van Erk had flied out, Tommy van de Sanden singled.
That brought in Nieveld, but when an outfield-error followed, Appelman was able to score the tying run.
Van de Sanden ended up on third base and strikeout accounted for the second out.
Hereafter, Sven van de Sanden (who was 3-for-3) delivered a walk-off single to bring in his brother and win the game, 7-6.
