 Terrasvogels and Tex Town Tigers split double-header in father-son match-up
Nederlands
 SANTPOORT-ZUID (Neth.) -
Terrasvogels and Tex Town Tigers split their double-header on Saturday (May 6) both winning a game with an one-run difference.
In the opener, Tex Town Tigers came from behind and won 3-2 in eight innings.
In the second game, Terrasvogels initially failed to hold onto an early 5-1 lead, but in the end won 8-7.
Today's double-header split was fittingly, as it was a match-up of a father-son coach-combination.
Nick Braakman is in his second season as Head Coach of Terrasvogels and today, he faced his father Jaap Braakman, who is in his first season as Head Coach of Tex Town Tigers.
And that made it the first-ever father-son coaching match-up in the big league-history.
