DOOR Neptunus vs. Mr. Cocker HCAW
At Rotterdam, Neptunus led 3-0 against HCAW, which then rallied for four runs in the seventh.
But Neptunus came alongside and went on to win 5-4.
In its first six games, HCAW was held winless, but tonight the team from Bussum had its biggest chance so far to win its first game of the season.
Initially, Neptunus appeared to have no problems tonight.
Gianison Boekhoudt led off with a walk, moved to third base on an one-out single by Raily Legito and scored on a sac-fly by Dwayne Kemp.
But HCAW-starter Sander Helmendach recovered, retired the side in the second inning and prevented Neptunus from taking a big lead.
In the second inning, the righthander gave up the second run.
Shaldimar Daantji led off with an infield-hit, moved on an errant pick-off and wild pitch and scored on sac-fly by Benjamin Dille.
Helmendach also walked Gianison Boekhoudt and Raily Legito, but they were left behind.
In the third inning, Neptunus left another runner, but added a run in the fifth at bat.
With one out, Benjamin Dille singled and scored on a double by Raily Legito, who was left behind for the third time moments later.
In the inning, Gijs van Els took over from Helmendach, who then retired the side in the sixth inning.
Neptunus-starter Diegomar Markwell didn't encounter much trouble initially.
HCAW reached base only four times in the first six innings, but only one runner was able to reach third base.
That was lead-off hitter Dylan de Mello, who walked in the first inning, was awarded second base on a balk and moved on a wild pitch.
He was then unable to advance on an infield-hit by Juriën Overman, then both runners were left behind.
Markwell then retired eight batters in a row and two errors led to runners in the fourth and sixth inning, but also were left behind.
HCAW then turned the game around in the seventh inning with a 4-run rally.
The bases got loaded when Linoy Croes and Jesus Latte singled and Sergino Martis reached when no outs were made on his sac-bunt.
Pinch-hitter Arjan Elshof then hit the ball back to Markwell, who made a fielding error, enabling Croes to score and left the bases loaded.
Next, Jasper Keijzer singled to make it 3-2.
With the bases still loaded, an 1-2-3 double play on a comeback-grounder by Dylan de Mello probably was the biggest play for Neptunus of the evening.
Jorin van Amstel followed with a 2-run triple that gave HCAW a 4-3 lead, but the double play prevented an additional run.
After giving up the triple, Markwell was relieved by rookie Diornick Sanchez, who struckout Juriën Overman in another crucial play for the home team.
Sanchez then retired the side in the eighth.
In the home of the seventh, now trailing 4-3, Neptunus was retired in order by new pitcher Sedley Karel, but came alongside in the eighth inning.
Raily Legito then walked to reach base for the fourth time and moved to third base on an one-out single by Rafaël Jozefa.
Moments later, the veteran player scored the tying run on a single by Rudy Van Heydoorn.
Karel was then relieved by Leon Elshof, who retired the next two batters, meaning Neptunus stranded two runners.
As the 10:30 PM curfew-time approached, it became clear that the ninth inning was to be the last complete at bat in this game.
HCAW came close to re-taking the lead in the ninth at bat off of new pitcher Jorian van Acker.
Sergino Martis led off with a single and Arjan Elshof walked.
A sac-bunt by Jasper Keijzer then failed, as Martis was forced out.
The two runners moved on a wild pitch and were left on second and third base, as Dylan de Mello lined out and Jorin van Amstel struckout.
In the home of the ninth inning, Neptunus prevented a tie score.
Shaldimar Daantji led off with a single and advanced on a sac-bunt by Gianison Boekhoudt.
With first base open, it was decided to pitch to Benjamin Dille, who then followed with a single into rightfield.
There, an error followed, enabling Daantji to score the winning run.
