 Starting Pitchers coming series
Nederlands
 AMSTERDAM (Neth.) -
On Thursday-evening (June 8), the first games will be played in the first round of the Bottom-5 Pool in the Dutch big league.
Last Sunday, RCH Memorie Sieraden became the fourth and final team to qualify for the Top-4 Pool by winning its series against Twins Oosterhout.
Until last weekend, Twins had been in fourth place, but RCH-Pinguïns won the series 2-1 to advance.
There are no games scheduled in the Top-4 Pool, which has to do with the European Champions Cup-tournament.
HCAW and Amsterdam Pirates are participating in that event in which the games will be played in both Bussum and Amsterdam.
The Top-4 opens on Thursday, June 15.
Schedule European Champions Cup
Beneath are the announced starting pitchers for the upcoming 3-game series that opens on Thursday-evening, June 8.
As always, these assignments can change on game-days.
