He moved on a grounder by Jordy Burger, but was left behind on second base.
In the meantime, DSS/Kinheim left three runners behind in scoring position in its third through fifth at bat.
In the bottom of the third, Jan-Willem Geerts took over the pitching for Quick.
With one out, he got the bases loaded when Nick Hofer and Donny Kuijper singled and Aidan Finnegan walked.
Geerts followed with a strikeout, then a force play-grounder ended the at bat, meaning three runners were left behind.

DSS/Kinheim got its final runner in scoring position in the bottom of the eighth.
With two outs, a hit by Jeldwin Orman was missed in the outfield and resulted in a 3-base error.
