Unfortunately Rick van den Hurk wasn’t able to extend his record of fourteen wins without recording a loss. Last week he broke the 50-year old record by winning the game vs the Chiba Lotte Marines, in which he struck out ten batters and gave up only one run. Wladimir Balentien is hitting rather well lately,…
Another cold day with another blowout score for Curacao Neptunus vs DSS, but also two surprising results in Bussum (where HCAW hosted Vaessen Pioniers) and Utrecht (where Pickles UVV hosted Kinheim). L&D Amsterdam Pirates hosted De Glaskoning Twins. Curacao Neptunus 14 – 1 DSS In a game that wasn’t much of a game, Neptunus clinched…
Perhaps it is a bit early since the MLB season is not even halfway, but Xander Bogaerts is putting up some serious numbers. Last year I wrote that Xander Bogaerts could be the 2015 MVP with the numbers that he put up. But since he wasn’t playing for a contender, he didn’t come close in…

Cities represented: Cambridge, MD: Cambridge Cardinals…

Munchen-Haar Disciples 9 – 2 Draci Brno After their dramatic loss vs Draci Brno, the Munich-Haar Disciples needed a win. With their best pitcher back in Munich-Haar, due to professional obligations, the other pitchers of the Disciples did a fine job today. In the first inning both teams scored once but from there, Gregory Hendrix,…
A fifty year old record in the NPB fell today as Rick van den Hurk clinced his fourteenth victory without recording a loss. The previous record for rookie pitchers and foreign pitchers stood at thirteen. In a close game Rick had a formidable opponent in Ayumu Ishikawa, who gave up only two runs. In the…
A sudden move by the CEB forced the managment of the Euro League Baseball to postpone the upcoming games between Amsterdam Baseball and Draci Brno. It looks like the CEB does everything that is in her power to prevent the ELB from succeeding. The Euro League Baseball League games between Amsterdam Baseball and Draci Brno…
Munich-Haar Disciples 4 – 5 Draci Brno While the Munich-Haar Disciples aren’t doing very well in the German competition and lost both ELB games vs Regensburg (after Regensburg lost one game vs Draci Brno), one would expect that Draci Brno would be no match for the Munich-Haar Disciples. But in this game, nothing looked like that….
