ADO has won the best-of-five relegation series in the Dutch Hoofdklasse in four games thanks to a 3-2 win over the Almere Magpies on Saturday evening. A sac fly by Eugene Henson in the top of the sixth broke a 2-2 tie and decided the outcome. Bobby Carrington allowed just two unearned runs on five hits and six walks in seven innings for the win. While the club The Hague now has secured a spot in next year’s Hoofdklasse, the Magpies will have to play another best-of-five series against second-division winner UVV from September 16 to 26.
