HCAW took an early lead by scoring three runs in the top of the first inning off of DSS-starter Tim Halderman.
The righthander walked lead-off hitter Jeandro Tromp, who scored on an one-out single by Oliver van der Wijst Severino.
Moments later, Rodney Daal also delivered a runscoring single.
With two outs, Daal advanced on a wild pitch, then scored on a single by Ruendrick Piternella.
In the next five innings, HCAW got into scoring position only once.
The team scored again in the sixth, but at that moment, DSS led with a 6-3 score.
DSS answered with two runs in the bottom of the first inning off of starter Dennis Burgersdijk.
Devano Pieter led off with a single and scored on a following double by Tino van Erk.
With two outs and Van Erk on third base, Aldi Guzman hit a runscoring single to narrow the deficit to 3-2.
After leaving two runners behind in the second inning, DSS struck with three runs in the third at bat.
All three runs were unearned, as the HCAW-defense made two costly errors.
Lead-off hitter Tino van Erk reached on an error and moved on a single by Brian Raap.
A sacrifice bunt by Ibrahin Redan didn't result in an out and so, the bases were loaded.
The tying run was then scored when next batter Aldi Guzman walked.
Next, Raap was eliminated at third base on a pick-off by catcher Rodney Daal.
Burgersdijk followed with a strikeout.
Hereafter, Koen Halderman singled, which brought Guzman to second base.
Redan advanced to third, then scored on a following error.
The next run was added when Runai Coran also singled.
And so, DSS now led 5-3.

The bases got loaded when Van Ancum hit Devano Pieter with a pitch, but the three runners were left behind.
The top of the ninth began with a double from Arthur Lugtmeijer.
However, he was eliminated in a double play on an appeal-play after the next batter flied out.
