UVV vs. Roef!
The game got its first rain-delay in the top of the first inning, as it was then interrupted for six minutes just after it had started.
When it resumed, Roef! was retired in order, but then reached base in the second at bat when Charlotte Haen singled.
She moved into scoring position on a sacrifice bunt by Sophie Mollee, but hereafter UVV-pitcher Jessica Vogel-Hall struckout the next two batters.
Marjolein Merkx started for Roef! and she retired the first six batters she faced, including two strikeouts.
In the top of the third inning, Jessica Vogel-Hall began with her fourth strikeout, which was followed by the second rain-delay.
Moments after the game resumed again, Gini Ketelaars was hit by a pitch and then the third delay followed within a minute.
That was to be the last delay, as the game was halted definitively shortly thereafter.
The game was re-scheduled for coming Saturday in Haarlem and will start at 12:30 PM.
As the game wasn't valid when it was halted, it will be replayed in its entirety.
