Instead of creating several separate threads, I thought it would be better to create a general thread for regular news from Japanese baseball. News items like trades, managerial changes can be posted here.

Good idea, but how about one just for Japan?

Good idea, but how about one just for Japan?

I created one for Japan before we started with this one. I thought it would be better to merge both. As you can see there are some articles about Japan in this thread already. Please feel free to post here. You are more than welcome to do so. The more the merrier.

Yesterday three games were scheduled. Only one wasn't rained out.

AamigoO AdoLakers - UVV 2-12
Even this game was put on hold twice due to the bad weather. Eventually the game could be finished.
It was never a real exciting game for the neutral fan though. UVV pitcher Jurjen van Zijl took a no-hitter into the seventh inning. It took the The Hague based team until the eighth inning before they got a runner on second base. At that time, UVV already had a 5-0 lead. Eventually AdoLakers scored twice in the eighth inning a when Jaïr Roseburg (single) and Gregory Hassell (double) could score on a hit by Ludwin Obispo and a fielding error by 2B Shurty Tremus. Manager Frank Koene, replaced pitcher Jurjen van Zijl with Derek Tarapacki, who pitched the remainder of the game and struck out two.

UVV player Mitchel Koot (I played with his father in one team ) was man of the match with three basehits and three RBI.
