In memory of their club icon, the Borgerhout Squirrels annually organize the Johan Veraghtert Tournament in collaboration with their sporting rivals the Deurne Spartans. What started as a warm-up for the upcoming baseball season has grown into a renound tournament with international top teams.
On Saturday 30 and Sunday 31 March, Belgian Champion Koninklijke Deurne Spartans, the Borgerhout Squirrels and the Brasschaat Braves will face the Cologne Cardinals, a team from the German Bundesliga. And two top teams from the Dutch Hoofdklasse, namely the Oosterhout Twins and 6x and current Dutch Champion the Amsterdam Pirates.
Quite unique to have such a preseason tournament on Belgian soil and given the group division, a final on Sunday between the Belgian and Dutch Champions may be possible.
All to play for!
