Hereafter, Melvin Perdue (another former DSS-player) delivered a runscoring single to bring in the tying run. Lars Vogelaar then walked Nick Peels, which gave Twins a 3-2 lead, but he was then supported with an inning-ending double play.

After two scoreless innings, DSS re-took the lead in the top of the sixth off of Sarmiento. Omar Williams led off with an infield-hit, then scored when Djewi Appelman hit his second homerun of the season with one out.
