(Story by Marco Stoovelaar; Photo by Henk Seppen) Today, the fourth round of games was scheduled in Golden League Nederlands HAARLEM / AMERSFOORT / HOOFDDORP (Neth.) - On a sunny Saturday-aftenoon (May 9), the fourth series of double-headers were scheduled in both the Golden League and Silver League Softball in the Netherlands. However, as you know, the softball-season is on hold, as all regular season-games have been annuled through June 9 because of measures taken against the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. New dates have not yet been announced. (© Photo: Henk Seppen) From March 12 on, the Government of the Netherlands regularly announced several (stricter) measures due to the coronavirus. On Wednesday (May 6), there was another update regarding the measures and a little more freedom was announced then. When (and if) it is possible to open the new season, the Royal Netherlands Baseball and Softball Assocation (KNBSB) announced that it will give teams a three-week preparation period when it is allowed to return to the fields. As of now, the KNBSB announced on April 29 that it had annulled all regular season-games through June 9. However, in the update on Wednesday, it was also announced that contact-sports remain prohibited through September 1. What that means for baseball and softball is not clear yet. No timeline is yet known whether it will be possible to open the season thereafter. We don't know when yet, but softball and baseball of course will be back! When it is safe to do so for everyone involved. Until then, take care and stay safe! Beneath are the games that were scheduled to be played on Saturday with the assignments of the game-officials.
