phelps 6,536 Posted September 20, 2018 Author #42 Share Posted September 20, 2018 and as usual Italy wasted a 7-5 lead (giving up 2 solo homers) in the 9th inning and an 8-7 advantage in the top of the 10th and finally lost once again against their arch-rival from the Netherlands...

phelps 6,536 Posted September 21, 2018 Author #47 Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) Super Six Day #4 Results Belgium b. Germany 7-6 Italy b. Czech Republic 25-10 Netherlands vs Spain game stopped after 1 and 1/2 innings on the score of 3-0 for the Netherlands (weather conditions...the game is set to resume later Today @ 3 p.m. CET) Edited September 22, 2018 by phelps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,536 Posted September 22, 2018 Author #48 Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) Super Six Day #5 Results Italy b. Spain 8-5 Germany b. Czech Republic 5-4 Netherlands vs Spain 12-10 Netherlands vs Belgium Game cancelled (bad weather) Final Standings Netherlands, 4W - 0L Italy, 4W - 1L Spain, 3W - 2L Belgium, 1W - 3L Germany, 1W - 4L Czech Republic, 1W - 4L Italy should be safe in the Final Match (scheduled for Tomorrow @ 1.30 p.m. CET), meanwhile Netherlands vs Spain should allow only the winning team to reach 1 of the first 2 spots in the Round Robin standings (and therefore to make it through to the Final match)... but maybe there's still a mathematical chance for the Netherlands to be within the top 2 teams of the RR also by losing with a very slim margin (I've not done all the required calculations, yet)...

phelps 6,536 Posted September 22, 2018 Author #49 Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) bad weather played a strong role in these last 2 days of the Super Six tournament... earlier Today, infact, Netherlands b. Spain 12-10 after the game was called a day after only 8 innings and, since it became useless for the aim of finding the 2 finalists, NED vs BEL (scheduled for Tonight) has been cancelled... if the weather conditions will allow the game to be played, Tomorrow (scheduled start @ 1.30 p.m. CET) Italy and Netherlands will play the Gold Medal game, otherwise I think the Netherlands will be declared winner of the tournament based on the Round Robin standings...

Maybe early in the morning or somewhere in the evening, but other than that for now it seems to be rain, rain, rain and rain in Hoofddorp tomorrow. I don't know if they play when the rain is not very strong, in that case it might be ok in the afternoon. Kinda wet, but ok.
