 Terrasvogels and Tex Town Tigers outscore each other
Nederlands
 SANTPOORT-ZUID (Neth.) -
Terrasvogels and Tex Town Tigers split their double-header on Sunday (April 28).
Both teams scored nine runs the game they won.
In the opener, Terrasvogels shutout Tex Town Tigers 9-0 in a 4½ inning, mercy-rule game.
In the second game, it was Tex Town Tigers that scored nine runs to win, but also gave up four runs.
The second game was highlighted by a very rare triple play made by the Terrasvogels-defense.
This weekend, all double-headers were scheduled for Sunday instead of Saturday.
In all softball- and baseball-leagues, no games were scheduled on Saturday, which was King's Day.
This was done to give everyone the opportunity to enjoy and participate in activities or attends festivals to celebrate the birthday of King Willem-Alexander.
In several previous seasons, games were scheduled on King's Day (April 27) and in the past Queen's Day (April 30).
But not this year.

With one out, the bases got loaded when Lee Lankhorst walked.
Another run was then added when next batter Shaneequa Kock singled.
That not only made it a 3-0 score, but it also led to an early pitching change.

She saw another run being scored on a wild pitch, then gave up a sacrifice fly to Myrthe Smid that lifted the lead to 5-0.
The inning ended when Kock got into a rundown after overrunning third base on a bunt-single by Eloïse Tribolet.
In the rundown, which even included the leftfielder, Kock was eliminated.
Tex Town Tigers added a run in the second inning, which ended with a rare triple play in which three baserunners (and no batter) were eliminated!
Lead-off hitter Merel Oosterveld reached second base on an error, then Nadine Marinus walked.
Laura Wissink followed with a runscoring single and then the bases got loaded when Lisa Marie Kovačevič-Köllner also singled.
And then, everyone got into motion after a pick-off at first base, which led to the elimination of all three runners and thus a very unusual triple play!
And that of course also ended a big scoring opportunity for Tex Town Tigers.
...Laura Wissink...
