 HCAW wins twice on first day Ringvaart Tournament
Nederlands
 HEEMSTEDE (Neth.) -
On Saturday (March 31), the first day of the annual Ringvaart Tournament, HCAW recorded two victories.
The team from Bussum shutout Hoofddorp Pioniers 3-0 in its first game, thanks to a great pitching outing by Dennis Burgersdijk.
In its second game, HCAW won 4-3 against organisor RCH-Pinguïns.
Trailing 3-2, HCAW scored twice in what would be the final at bat in the game.
The day began with a 3-1 win of Pioniers against RCH-Pinguïns.
Initially, L&D Amsterdam Pirates was to be the fourth participant in this tournament.
However, the vice-champion withdraw from the event on Wednesday, as the team is not ready yet to play what would have been four games in the original schedule.
So far, Amsterdam has played only one exhibition game due to the cold weather conditions of the previous weeks and also because its home site is currently unavailable, as an artificial infield is installed.
