[1] Defending champions Storks won the Holland Series opener beating Kokolishi 6–2.
Pitcher Ed Hoet then hit next batter Irvin Redan, resulting in commotion from the bench.
A few minutes later Storks filed a protest stating it felt threatened before leaving the pitch.
The Dutch softball association did not share Storks' opinion and awarded the match to Kokoloshi.
Still Storks were 3-1 behind in the fourth inning, when Tim Verbrugge tripled and later scored later when Bob Bik singled.
