NEPTUNUS EARNS THREE STRIAGHT SHUTOUTS, WIN STREAK AT 15

While Corendon Kinheim and the Amsterdam Pirates were off in Barcelona last weekend, DOOR Neptunus turned in an outstanding three-game series against ADO. Neptunus won all three games via shutout to run their current winning streak to 15 games while pulling ahead of Amsterdam for the Dutch Major League lead with a 23-6-1 record, 1.5 games up on the 22-8 Pirates.


Neptunus opened the series with a 4-0 win over ADO as starter Diegomar Markwell allowed three hits over seven innings. That was followed by a 10-0 romp with starter Kevin Heijstek going all seven innings of the mercy-rule shortened game, and a series-ending 11-0 mercy-ruler behind five strong innings from Dushan Ruzic.

ADO has now lost 17 games in a row and are mired in the cellar with a 4-25-1 record, one game behind the 5-24 MediaMonks RCH. This year’s edition of the Hoofdklasse is clearly divided between the haves and have-nots. Five of the league’s eight teams are at least five games over .500, while the bottom three teams have an aggregate record of 18-69-2.
