The Netherlands won the 2017 Colt World Series as they knocked off Upland, California in the championship game by the score of 6-0.
The Netherlands got started right away in the bottom of the first as Tyler Boersma reached on an infield single with two outs. Darryl Collins added a single to left, and both runners gave the Netherlands a 2-0 lead after the first inning.
The men in orange added to their lead in the bottom of the fourth with Nolan Buegeling reached on a throwing error and Piternella came around to score when the throw went all the way to the fence behind first base, extending the Netherlands’ lead to 3-0.
The Netherlands found their bats yet again in the bottom of the sixth when Nolan Beugeling led off by reaching on an error. He advanced to second on a wild pitch, stretching the lead to 5-0. Tyler Boersma came up with the goods as he drew a walk, making the score 6-0 after the sixth.
Luuk ter Beek was removed after retiring Robert Lopez for the first out and Jiorgeny Casimiri came in to try and finish the job. Casimiri was more than up to the task and sent down both Alfred Castaneda and Rafael Lopez to end the game and deliver the Netherlands their first ever Colt World Series championship. Upland, California finishes as the runners-up in their first ever Colt World Series appearance.
