In the opening game, Storks scored both runs in the first inning. Rob van der Vlist led off with a single and was able to score all the way from first base when a throwing error was made on a force play-grounder by next batter Joost Droog, who also continued running, before being thrown out after rounding second base. Next, Kenny Dame followed with a homerun off of Argentinian starter Roberto Bahler, who recovered and retired the next seven batters in a row. After he struckout Rob van der Vlist for the second out in the third inning, Bahler was relieved by Erik Zomerdijk. He would allow only three more Storks-players to reach base, only one on a basehit, a single by Ed Hoet in the fourth inning.
EHS outhit Storks 4-3, but was unable to score off of Tony Moyo, who struckout 16 batters. The Botswanian pitcher struckout the first seven batters (including a batter who reached base when the third strike was a wild pitch) he faced and ten of the first eleven!
In the fourth inning, EHS came close to a run when it got the bases loaded with only one out. After Moyo struckout his tenth batter, Anthony Beaumont broke his No-Hitter with a single, followed by a single from Ciro Ricardo. The bases were loaded when Milton Gilbert walked, but then a strikeout and a groundout ended the scoring opportunity.

In Game Two, Tony Moyo struckout ten batters and threw a one-hitter, giving up only a lead-off single to Anthony Beaumont in the fourth inning. Therefore, Beaumont twice broke Moyo's No-Hit bid in the fourth! He also was one of only two EHS-players to reach second base in this game. The other being Maurice Meijer, who led off the game with a walk and advanced on a sac-bunt.
In the third inning, Pim Winkel led off with a walk, but then Jeffrey Visser lined into a double play.
Storks scored its first run in the second inning. Steven Ketting led off with a bunt-single and advanced when a throwing error followed. After he stole third base, Ketting scored on a one-out single by René Nieveld, who went 2-for-3.
In the fourth inning, Kenny Dame led off with a homerun, his second of the day.
EHS-pitcher Glen Moreland then retired the next six batters in a row, before Rob van der Vlist singled in the sixth inning. Joost Droog then reached on a fielder's choice-grounder, after which the bases were loaded on a walk for Kenny Dame and an infield-hit by Steven Ketting. After a strikeout, René Nieveld again delivered an RBI-single to make it 3-0, but Storks stranded three runners, as the next batter also struckout.
