The rainy weather in Germany continues to hurt the 2010 European Championship. After already two games were rained out on Friday, three more postponements followed on Monday.
The afternoon game between Greece and Croatia in Stuttgart was suspended in the top of the fifth inning due to rain with the Greek team leading 7-1 after a solo homerun and a two-run double by Erik Pappas. There were two rain delays of about one hour each earlier in the match. The game will not resume in the fifth frame, but is going to be replayed from the beginning.
The evening games on Monday, Italy vs. Sweden in Stuttgart and Germany vs. Netherlands in Heidenheim, got cancelled. While the game between the German and the Dutch National Team most likely will be made up on Wednesday at 5 or 6pm in Heidenheim, make-up dates for the other two games will not be announced before Tuesday evening.
