The TEX TOWN TIGERS already clinched their ticket for the Holland Series in Dutch Softball last week. On Monday, SPARKS HAARLEM followed, after overcoming a 0-2 deficit in the semi-final series versus 2007 champion TERRASVOGELS. They had avoided the sweep a week ago with a ten-inning 3-2 victory. Then on Saturday they were behind 1-4 in the seventh, but rallied to win 7-6 in eleven innings (Box score) and evened the series at 2-2. In the decisive fifth game two days later (Sunday’s matchup was rained out), they shut out TERRASVOGELS 2-0 to join the TIGERS in the on Friday starting Holland Series.
