Four game days are in the books at the 2012 Haarlem Baseball Week, as all six teams in the invitational tournament have played three games apiece. Puerto Rico is the big surprise, having won all three games so far, stunning the favored teams from Cuba, the United States and the Netherlands. The Dutch team is in second place together with Team USA, as both have won twice. Cuba on the other hand only managed to edge out the winless Chinese Taipei to start the tournament with a 1-2 record. The Haarlemse Honkbalweek will be played through Sunday.
