After Saturday’s game had to be canceled altogether and Sunday’s affair was suspended in the top of the fourth with Amsterdam leading 7-0 after a seven-run rally in the second, rain also caused a cancelation on Monday. Corendon Kinheim and L&D Amsterdam will now make another try on Tuesday evening to conclude the semi-final series. The Royal Dutch Baseball and Softball Association (KNBSB) surprised us a little with the announcement that game four will not replayed from the beginning, but where it stopped on Sunday. With the 7-0 advantage in the game and a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series, the Pirates should be en route to the Holland Series, which is scheduled to start on Saturday in Rotterdam.
