UVV took an early lead, scoring one run in the top of the first inning off of starter Mike van den Berg.
The righthander began with a strikeout, but then walked Ryan Wheat, who stole second base, before next batter Karl Hoschke also walked.
Wheat then moved to third base on a passed ball and moments later, Hoschke also stole second base.
With two runners in scoring position, Tijmen Takke followed with a sacrifice fly and Wheat scored the first run.
Hoschke advanced to third base, but was left behind there.
After the Storks-defense turned a double play in the second inning, UVV failed to add another run in the third when it got the bases loaded.
Daan Jansen led off with a double, but was unable to advance on an infield-hit towards third base by Luke Oliphant.
After striking out American Ryan Wheat, Van den Berg got the bases loaded when he walked Karl Hoschke.
Hereafter, Tijmen Takke hit a comeback-grounder to Van den Berg, who was able to force out Jansen at the plate.
A grounder ended the at bat and so, three runners were left behind.

With two outs, UVV got the bases loaded when Karl Hoschke was hit by a pitch and Tijmen Takke walked.

With one out, Jaycy Fluonia was able to go all the way to third base on an error.
Moments later, he scored on a sacrifice fly by Etienne van Tielraden.
Now with two outs, Daan Jansen singled and stole second base.

Storks was kept scoreless in seven innings by UVV-starter Aaron Isenia.
In those at bats, the team got into scoring position only twice.
After having retired three batters in a row, the lefthander gave up a lead-off single in the second to Edvin Yrausquin, who was then moved into scoring position via a sacrifice bunt by Sigmar Eustacia.
He advanced to third base on a grounder by Kelvin Knape, but was left behind.
In the next four innings, Storks got only two baserunners off of Isenia, who struckout four batters in these at bats, but both stranded on first base.
In the bottom of the seventh, trailing 2-0, Storks got its second runner in scoring position.
Lead-off hitter Edvin Yrausquin reached on an error, then his pinch-runner David van Heyningen advanced when Kelvin Knape walked with one out.

With one out, Isenia hit Jurian Hansen with a pitch, then Raibiently Mercalina hit the ball over the leftfield-fence for a 2-run homerun.
This was the second homerun for Storks in this Pool.
In the entire regular season (42 games), the team had no homeruns.
With a 4-2 lead, Hugo ter Steege threw the ninth inning for UVV.
With one out, he got a runner on second base when a hit by Twan Naessens ended in an outfield-error.
