Baseball and Softball Season in Netherlands ends abruptly
The 2020 season in the Netherlands ended on Wednesday abruptly. All team sports – except professional soccer – for players 18 years and older were prohibited as part of new measures to stop rising Covid-19 infections in the country. Therefore also the 2020 season in the Dutch Hoofdklasse and the Golden League Softball came to a sudden end. The Hoofdklasse was right in the middle of the best-of-seven Holland Series with the Amsterdam Pirates leading Curacao Neptunus 2-0 after the first two games. The season in the Netherlands already started late due to the pandemic. Additionally the Haarlem Honkbalweek had to be cancelled as well.
