 Starting Pitchers coming series
Nederlands
 AMSTERDAM (Neth.) -
Most probable starting pitchers for the upcoming 3-game series have been announced.
Of course, as always, starting assignments can change on game-days.
On Thursday-evening, two games will be played again on another site instead of the site of the home-playing team.
Silicon Storks will play at home against Hoofddorp Pioniers in the Pim Mulier Stadium Haarlem at the site of DSS/Kinheim.
It was not possible to play the game at the site of opponent Pioniers, as its main-field is currently under renovation.
Therefore, Pioniers plays its home-game at Field #2 of its complex in Hoofddorp.
But that field has no light-installation, making it unavailable for evening-games.
Storks, which also has no light-installation at its home site in The Hague, normally plays its evening home-games at the site of Neptunus in Rotterdam.
However, for the second time in three weeks, the site in Rotterdam is in use for another game, meaning that Storks has to look for another site.
On Opening Night, Storks played its home-game against Twins Oosterhout at the site of Amsterdam Pirates in Amsterdam.
Back then, Neptunus played at home, but on Thursday, the team plays an away-game in Rotterdam.
Neptunus faces Twins Oosterhout, who light-installation at its home-site is not sufficient enough for big league-games.
Therefore, the team played its evening-games last season at the site of Gryphons in Rosmalen.
For this season, it has been agreed that Twins will play its home-games in the evening at the site of its opponent.
And that made the Neptunus-site Thursday unavailable again for Storks.
