HCAW vs. DSS
Rookie Alex Marcussen started for DSS and he initially got some fine defensive support.
With one out in the first inning, he gave up a single to Boyd Tuhumury, but then a double play followed.
In the second, Rossini Frolijk led off for HCAW with a single, but hereafter, the DSS-defense turned another double play.
Raoell Kortstam followed with a single and stole second base, but then was left behind.
In the third, DSS appeared to turn its third double play in the first three innings.
With one out, Gianni Frolijk walked, but then Roelie Henrique grounded into a double play to second baseman Joffrey Heus.
However, Frolijk reached second base safely, as short stop Mitchel Dautzenberg missed touching second base after receiving the ball from Heus.
So only Henrique was eliminated, but Frolijk would strand on second base.
Later in the game, DSS did turn its third double play in the seventh inning.
The HCAW-defense also showed some fine plays in the first three at bats to support its starter Kaj Timmermans.
The righthander retired the side in the first inning.
He then gave up an one-out single to Mitchel Koot in the second, but HCAW then turned a double play.
In the third, Damian Melis singled and Tristan Kim walked, but then another double play followed.
In the top of the fourth, DSS got a runner on third base, but was unable to score.
HCAW then opened the score in the bottom of the fourth.
Vince Rooi led off with a double, then scored the first run on an one-out single by Kevin Weijgertse.
Next, Raoell Kortstam doubled and a sacrifice fly by Levine Gabriëls brought in the second run.
Hereafter, Kortstam moved to third base on an infield-hit by Jelle Blaauw.
Moments later, Kortstam scored the next run on a wild pitch by Marcussen.

Another runner stranded in scoring position in the sixth.
But an insurance run was then added in the seventh off of new pitcher Mark van Deursen.
He gave up a lead-off single to Gianni Frolijk, who then scored on a following double by Roelie Henrique to make it 4-0.
Henrique then moved to third on a grounder, but the DSS-defense then turned its third double play to end the at bat.
In the eighth, HCAW got a chance to do some more scoring.
Max Ploegstra became the new pitcher for DSS and was greeted with a lead-off single by Rossini Frolijk.
With two outs, a single by Levine Gabriëls led to runners at the corners, but they were left behind.
