ROUEN, ANTWERP SPLIT TWO-GAME EXHIBITION SET

Two of the most decorated teams in European baseball met in a two-game preseason series last weekend in Rouen, France. The defending French League champion Rouen Huskies crushed the visiting Antwerp Royal Greys, 17-0, last Saturday as the Huskies scored five runs in the fifth inning and another eight in the sixth to break the game wide open. The offensive outburst benefitted Rouen pitchers Robin Roy and Alexandre Sochon.


The defending Belgian League champs got a measure of revenge one day later, topping the Huskies, 6-4, last Sunday in an eight-inning contest. Australian pitcher Adam Crabb started the game for Antwerp, going five innings against Rouen opener Keino Perez.

Both teams took part in last year’s European Cup among the continent’s elite teams.
