On Friday the Royal Dutch Baseball and Softball Association (KNBSB) announced on its website that Karen Marr will return as pitching coach for the Women’s Softball National Team. Marr will be back with the national team on July 7 and will guide the pitchers at least through the European Championship in Rosmalen. She joins the coaching staff of Tracy Bunge and June Francisca. Rumai Tai, which was supposed to be the pitching coach, had to resign due to personal reasons. The 39-year-old Australian Marr held this post since 2010 under previous head coach Craig Montvidas.
