 Starting Pitchers coming series
Nederlands
 AMSTERDAM -
The 2022 regular season in the Dutch big league went underway a week ago on Thursday, April 7 with two rainouts and two games that started later due to field-maintenance because of the rain.
One game was made-up on Friday, the other on Tuesday-evening.
On Saturday, another game was scrubbed because of the weather conditions.
This also was re-scheduled for last night.
And so, the teams are ready for the next round of games in the season.
In this round, Curaçao Neptunus is the team that has no games scheduled because of the odd total of teams in the highest league.
Silicon Storks, which had the week off in the Opening Round, now will play its first games of the new season.
In the first games of the season, we've seen new players and new coaches, some more new players last week and others made their big league-debut, as did two umpires.
And of course, the season began with that bizarre come-from-behind from RCH Memorie Sieraden, which celebrated its comeback in the highest league by scoring 23 runs in the seventh inning to turn an 18-1 deficit into a 24-18 victory!
Beneath are the announced starters for the games in the upcoming series.
As always, these assignments can change on game-days.
