Pilot-Pool: UVV records big win in second game vs. Twins Oosterhout
Nederlands

VLEUTEN (Neth.) - After the first game ended in a 10-10 tie on Thursday-evening, UVV recorded a huge 17-2 victory (6½ inning) on Saturday (September 3) in the second game against the second team of Twins Oosterhout in the Major League/First Division Pilot-Pool. With the win, UVV moved into first place in this new Pool.

Today, UVV collected nineteen basehits, including four by Malcolm Marlin, Ryan Wheat and Luke Oliphant. The latter also batted in four runs, as did Daan Jansen (who homered). Marlin scored four runs, as he also did last Thursday-evening. Twins recorded six basehits, but one of them was a homerun by Thijmen Peters.

In the other two series in this Pool, the teams also played their second game.

RCH Memorie Sieraden also won its second game against Quick Amersfoort. After recording an 8-0 shutout-win on Thursday, the team today won with a 4-1 score.

Sparks Haarlem won 12-9 at home against Silicon Storks. On Thursday, it was Storks that opened with a 5-3 score.

All three series will close on Sunday.

(September 3)



UVV scored at least once in each of the six at bats it got in today's game. The team rallied for four runs in the second at bat and scored six runs in the fifth at bat. Four UVV-players collected three or more basehits. Four players also recorded three of more runs.

Initially, UVV scored only one run in the first inning off of starter Lucas den Duijn. He gave up a lead-off single to Malcolm Marlin, who stole second base moments later. Den Duijn followed with a strikeout, but then gave up singles to Luke Oliphant and Karl Hosche, which brought in Marlin. The inning then ended when Daan Terstall grounded into a double play.

The home-team then took more distance by scoring four unearned runs with two outs in the bottom of the second inning on four basehits. The inning started well for Twins. Aaron Isenia led off with a walk, but hereafter, Stefan Kuipers grounded into a double play. Etienne van Tielraden then reached on an error, stole second base and scored when Daan Jansen followed with a double. The latter scored himself when next batter Malcolm Marlin singled. UVV got another baserunner when Ryan Wheat delivered the next single. After Marlin and Wheat had advanced on a wild pitch, both scored on a single by Luke Oliphant. And that lifted the lead to 5-0.

UVV added three runs in the third, again with two outs. After two flyouts accounted for the outs. Stefan Kuipers singled and Etienne van Tielraden walked. They scored when Daan Jansen belted the ball into deep left-centerfield for a 3-run homerun.

Trailing 8-0, Twins got one run back in the top of the fourth off of Jurjen van Zijl, who went the distance for UVV. The team got runners into scoring position in the first two at bats off of the righthander. With two outs in the first, Thijmen Peters singled and stole second base, but was left behind. In the third, Esra van den Berg led off with a single and Sydney Hoeverts singled with one out. Dick van Heesch then hit a line drive into centerfield, but that was caught there by Daan Jansen and a strikeout ended this chance.

Van Zijl retired the side in the third, then gave up a run in the fourth. Lead-off hitter Jerzy van Gool was hit by a pitch, advanced to third base on an one-out single by Ben van Dulken and scored on a single by Sydney Hoeverts. Van Zijl recovered and struckout the next two batters.

UVV answered with two more runs of its own in the bottom of the fourth. Ryan Wheat led off with a double, moved on a single by Luke Oliphant and scored on a sacrifice fly by Karl Hoschke. Moments later, UVV got the bases loaded when Daan Terstall doubled and Aaron Isenia walked. After Terstall's double, Tobias Cox had taken over the pitching for Twins. When next batter Stefan Kuipers flied out (sac-fly), Oliphant scored. Terstall and Isenia then tried to advance on the throw to the plate. Terstall was successful, but Isenia was eliminated at second base to complete an inning-ending double play.

With UVV now leading 10-1, Twins scored another run in the top of the fifth. Jurjen van Zijl struckout the first two batters, but Thijmen Peters then connected well and hit a homerun. That not only accounted for the final run Twins scored in this game, Peters also was the final runner in this game for the Oosterhout-team.

For UVV, the scoring did't stop yet, as the team now reacted with a 6-run rally in the bottom of the fifth on five basehits. It all began when lead-off hitter Etienne van Tielraden was hit by a pitch and Daan Jansen followed with a single. Some productive basehits followed. First, Van Tielraden and Jansen both scored on a double by Malcolm Marlin, who then scored on a triple by Ryan Wheat, who then scored on a single by Luke Oliphant. Next batter Karl Hoschke walked and a wild pitch gave UVV runners on second and third base. Oliphant and Hoschke also went on to score. The first on a grounder by Daan Terstall, the second on a single by pinch-hitter Jaycy Fluonia. And that lifted the lead to 16-2.

And UVV still wasn't done scoring, as it had one more run left which was scored in the sixth off of new pitcher Matthew Joossens. With one out, Malcolm Marlin and Ryan Wheat singled, then advanced on an outfield-error. Marlin scored the 17th UVV-run on a grounder by Luke Oliphant.

In the top of the seventh Jurjen van Zijl retired the side for the third time to end the lobsided game.

Ryan Wheat and Daan Jansen both missed one specific basehit to hit for-the-cycle. Wheat missed the homerun, Jansen missed the triple.
