UVV vs. Curaçao Neptunus
UVV initially opened the score in the second inning off of starter Diegomar Markwell.

In the next five innings, Neptunus scored a run each time.

In the fourth inning, Neptunus took a 2-1 lead on back-to-back doubles with one out by Dashenko Ricardo and Urving Kemp.

In the sixth, off of new pitcher Gilian van Lith, Dashenko Ricardo led off for Neptunus with a double.
With two outs and Ricardo on third base, Shaldimar Daantji reached on an infield-hit.

Neptunus lifted the lead to 5-1 in the seventh inning.
This run also was unearned, as Dwayne Kemp led off with a walk and later scored on an error.
UVV scored its second run in the eighth inning off of Kevin Kelly.
Julian Rip led off with a walk and stole second base.
He moved to third base on a grounder by Tijmen Takke, then scored on a grounder by Sven Jongejans.
