 DSS and Roef! shutout each other; Bloeming throws No-Hitter
Nederlands
 HAARLEM (Neth.) -
DSS and Roef! both opened the new season in the Golden League with a double loss a week ago, but on Saturday (April 22), both teams recorded their first win.
And they shutout each other.
DSS won the opener with a 5-0 score, then Roef! won the second game, 4-0.
In the first game, Dagmar Bloeming threw a complete game No-Hitter.
Through the years, the veteran righthander has pitched several No-Hitters, including a combined one last year on April 23 against Twins.
Bloeming threw two No-Hitters in 2015 and three in 2012 in which she also threw in a combined No-Hitter.
All these game were mercy-rule shortened games.
Dagmar Bloeming threw her last complete game, 7-inning, No-Hitter, on April 21, 2012 against Alcmaria Victrix when she pitched for Sparks Haarlem.
Back then, she struckout nine batters in a 7-0 shutout.
Today, Bloeming struckout 12 batters.
There was one player today, who also witnessed the No-Hitter in 2012 and then also played for the winning team.
That is Areke Spel, who was the centerfielder in both games.
The last complete game, 7-inning, No-Hitter at the highest level was pitched on July 11, 2015 by Malou van Dusschoten when Terrasvogels won 3-0 vs. Tex Town Tigers.
