In the top of the first inning, Onze Gezellen-starter Ronald Oosterwijk gave up a lead-off single to Randy van Hoek, but was later supported with an inning-ending double play.
Oosterwijk then retired the side in the second at bat, but gave up a run in the top of the third inning.
Tijani Dunlop then led off with a double, Oosterwijk followed with two strikeouts, but then gave up a runscoring double to Randy van Hoek.
That gave Storks an early lead, but it also was to be the lone run the team scored tonight.
Storks-starter Aaron de Groot had a strong beginning, as he struckout the side in the bottom of the first inning.
In the second at bat, he added two strikeouts, but also walked two batters, who were left behind.
But with an 1-0 lead, De Groot gave up three runs in the bottom of the third, which turned the game around.
Nils Mica led off the third inning for Onze Gezellen with a single and moved on a wild pitch and a flyout.
He was unable to advance on a comeback infield-hit by Milan Lammerts, but then did score the tying run when Jenk Lemmink followed with a double.
Moments later, Lammerts scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch and Tom Vreeken made it a 3-1 score when he added a runscoring double.
De Groot closed the at bat with two more strikeouts.
The home team took some more distance by scoring two runs in the bottom of the fourth.
With one out and Ted Koehorst (fielder's choice) on first base, an error on a force play-grounder by Nils Mica led to runners on second and third base.
Hereafter, a flyout was followed by a runscoring error, then Milan Lammerts singled in the next run to make it a 5-1 score.
A single by Jenk Lemmink and walk for Hugo Koehorst then loaded the bases, but Aaron de Groot closed with his eighth strikeout.
In the fifth inning, Onze Gezellen rallied for three runs off of new pitcher Ricky Voorn, who made his first appearance for Storks in the Promotion/Relegation Pool.
He got the bases loaded quickly when Jelle Kroft walked, Joffrey Heus singled and Ted Koehorst's grounder ended in an error.
A force play at the plate followed on a grounder by Nils Mica.
With the bases still loaded, a run was scored on a wild pitch, then the next run was added on a grounder by pinch-hitter Mitchell Hetem.
Milan Lammerts added a runscoring single to make it an 8-1 score.
After having opened the score in the third inning, Storks left two runners behind in the fourth and another one in scoring position in the fifth.
In the top of the sixth inning, Raymond Rutte took over the OG-pitching.
He walked lead-off hitter Jurriaan van Dijk, who was forced out, then a double play ended the at bat.
After Onze Gezellen had left runners behind at the corners in the bottom of the sixth, Storks got the bases loaded in the top of the seventh.
Rutte walked lead-off hitter Sem Petit, but then got two flyouts.
The bases got loaded when Nick Winkel and Niels Weis both singled, but Rutte closed with a strikeout.
In the bottom of the seventh inning, Onze Gezellen scored three runs to reach the 10-run difference and end the game via the mercy-rule.
The bases got loaded when Mitchell Hetem singled, Milan Lammerts walked and Jenk Lemmink was hit by a pitch.
A force out at the plate followed on a grounder by pinch-hitter Oscar Sewalt, who also played in his first game in this Pool.
A fly into the outfield from next batter Joeri Hondius was missed, bringing in a run.
Hondius was credited with a sacrifice fly and the bases remained loaded.
A single by Jelle Kroft then accounted for the next run and made it a 10-1 score.
That led to a pitching change.
Nick Winkel, who had started the game in leftfield and moved to rightfield in the third inning, took over the pitching.
He got a force play-grounder from Joffey Heus.
That eliminated Kroft on second base, but also enabled Sewalt to score a run, which ended the game, as the score became 11-1.
