The Dutch Hoofdklasse opened the 2014 season last weekend with a fresh set of three-game series. Defending champion DOOR Neptunus was led by pitchers Diegomar Markwell, Orlando Yntema and Floris Timmer in three shutouts over the ADO Lakers. Thanks to six one-hit innings of Elton Koeiman and two RBI apiece of Kevin Dirksen and Remco Draijer the Vaessen Pioniers won their debut in their new Park 21 ballpark against Mr. Cocker HCAW on Sunday. The Pioniers scored five runs in the opening frame in their new home.
