Olympia Haarlem Wins European Championship

Olympia Haarlem won the European Club Championship over the weekend defeating Forli at the Women’s Softball Premiere Cup held in Bollate, Italy. The team from the Netherlands outlasted the home team from Italy 4-3 in the championship game. The back-and-forth battle ended when the Dutch team walked it off in the bottom of the 8th as former Cal great Brit Vonk doubled to center field and later scored on a single by Van Der Zanden to secure the gold. The host Bollate 1969 took third winning the bronze medal game against Spanish Rivas.
