It also ends on Tuesday of the 2022 edition of Haarlem Week, with three matches scheduled at the Pim Mulier Stadion which hosts this six-team event of high international importance. Italy, first to take the field, was overtaken by Japan with an incontrovertible 9-0.
In the match between Curaçao and Cuba the final result is 1-0 and it materializes in the second inning, when Gregorius, after an initial double, is sent to complete the diamond round from Carolina’s single. Cubans basically never find a real opportunity to equalize or overtake.
Baseball, Haarlem Week 2022: Italy holds four innings, then gives way to Japan
In the evening match, the United States prevailed 0-10 against Holland. The manifest is activated in the sixth inning. Before the Dutch had all in all resisted, seeing Bradfield score despite a double play in the third round and suffering a home run by Gonzalez in the fourth. In the sixth, however, four singles, a double from 2 RBI, a sacrifice sprint and a base on ball with solid bases establishes the definitive result.
Tomorrow at noon Italy will close the single group with the black beast of all time, Cuba, while the United States will face Curaçao at 15:30 and, finally, at 19:30 the Netherlands will try to reject the Japanese wave.
