After leaving two runners in the first at bat, Amsterdam came alongside in the second inning off of Quinn Tramm.

Tramm walked lead-off hitter Percy Isenia, then gave up singles to Rashid Gerard and Bas Nooij that loaded the bases.
The first run was then scored on a force play-grounder by Björn Hato and then the tying run was scored when the latter was forced out on a grounder by Roelie Henrique.
But Pirates also left two runners behind in this at bat.
The Hawks came back on top in the fourth inning when Bob de Bruijn led off with a double, moved on a sac-bunt by Shurendell Borgschot and scored on a sac-fly by Aschwin Rokx.
Amsterdam reacted with a run of its own in its fourth at bat.
Gerard led off with a single, moved on a passed ball and a grounder, then scored on a grounder by Hato.
In the fifth inning, The Hawks took the lead for the third time, scoring three runs and this time, it was a lead to keep.
Gino Hersilia led off with a single and moved on a bunt-single by Jules Peters.
A single by Steven Wharwood gave The Hawks a 4-3 lead, but then two flyouts followed.
The bases got loaded when De Bruijn was hit by a pitch and then Borgschot followed with a 2-run single to make it 6-3.
That led to the departure of De Jong, who was relieved by Kyle Ward.
Amsterdam narrowed the deficit to 6-5 by scoring a run in the sixth and seventh inning.
In the sixth, Percy Isenia walked with one out and moved on a wild pitch, then Rashid Gerard also walked.
An error on a force play-grounder by Bas Nooij then led to a run, while he himself ended up on second base.
He advanced to third on a wild pitch by Tramm, who was then relieved by Henk van Heijningen with an 1-0 count.
A pop-fly ended the inning, leaving Nooij at third base.
In the seventh, Amsterdam made it a 6-5 score when Michael Duursma walked with one out, stole second base with two outs and scored on a single by Kenny Berkenbosch.

Corendon Kinheim vs. ADO Lakers
At Haarlem, Corendon Kinheim tonight won 7-4 vs. ADO Lakers, but it didn't come easy.
Last Saturday, Kinheim surprisingly lost to ADO Lakers, which tonight took an 1-0 lead in the first inning, then narrowed a 6-1 deficit to 6-4, but this time was unable to turn the game its way.
In the first inning, ADO Lakers opened the score off of starter Nick Veltkamp.
The lefthander gave up lead-off singles to Jason Jakobus and Stephen Henson, which led to runners at the corners.
The latter then got into a run-down, but he was let go when Jakobus took off for home and he then also got into a run-down and was eliminated.
Hereafter, Christian Diaz doubled to bring in a run after all.

Jeffrey Arends led off with a single, then an error was made on a force play-grounder by Mervin Gario and the bases got loaded when Dashenko Ricardo reached on a bunt-single.
Next, a sacrifice fly by Sven van de Sanden tied the score and an error on a grounder by Jefferson Muzo made it 2-1.
After ADO Lakers stranded two runners in both the third and fourth inning, Kinheim rallied for four runs in the home of the fourth.
Again, Arends led off with a single and the bases got loaded when Gario walked and Ricardo singled.
The bases were then cleared when rookie Sven van de Sanden hit a 3-run triple.
Moments later, he scored himself when Muzo added an RBI-single to make it 6-1.
The 6-1 lead appeared to be comfortable, but then ADO Lakers reacted with a 3-run rally in the top of the 5th inning.
Christian Diaz led off with a double and with one out, Joshua Zara singled.
With two outs, the bases got loaded when Odion Gouverneur walked and this time, it was Julian Goins, who cleared the bases with a 3-run double.
