HCAW, which had left a runner on third base in the second inning, re-took the lead in the third when Roelie Henrique homered with one out.
HCAW added another run in the fifth inning, but this time, it the Bussum-squad failed to add more runs.
With one out, Roelie Henrique singled, then stole both second and third base with two outs.
Hereafter, Vince Rooi walked, then Kevin Weijgertse delivered a runscoring single that brought in Henrique, who scored all three runs.
A walk for Julian Goins loaded the bases, but three runners were left behind when a flyout ended the at bat.
In the remainder of the game, HCAW was held scoreless.
Henrique reached base two more times, both via a walk, but this time, he was caught stealing the first time, then was left behind the second time.
Kinheim tied the score for the second time by scoring twice in the sixth inning.
Bryan Engelhardt led off with a walk, then stole second base and scored on a double by Dudley Leonora.
The latter then advanced on a grounder by Oliver van der Wijst Severino and scored the tying run on a single by Niels van Weert.
The decision then fell in the bottom of the ninth inning.
Sander Paap led off for Kinheim with his third basehit in the game and got into scoring position via a sacrifice bunt by Jasper Keijzer.
That led to a pitching change, as lefthander Gijs van Els took over for Giovanni Tensen.
Thomas Bos then was inserted as pinch-runner for Paap, but Van Els loaded the bases by walking Jochem Koedijk and Niels van Weert.
Another pitching change followed, as Tim Niekerk was brought in.
He saw Kevin Moesquit hit a grounder to short, which might have been a possible double play-grounder or a force play-grounder, resulting in a play at the plate.
We will never know how the play would have gone, as an error was made, enabling Bos to score the winning run.
