Kirsten Molle led off with a triple, then scored on an one-out single by Davinia de Kwant.
The latter was forced out on a grounder by Merel Cramer, then Anna Prins added a single.
The two baserunners scored when Eliza van 't Zelfde followed with a triple to make it 5-3, but then was left herself.

Kelly De Lannoy and Minke Blok began with singles and advanced on a wild pitch.
They then scored when Michelle Edgtton tripled, which led to a pitching change.

Twins stranded two runners in this at bat, but now led 7-3.
In the fourth inning, Twins reached the 7-difference needed to end the game through the mercy-rule.
Lieke Duffhues led off with a walk and Sandy Lauwers singled, then another triple followed.
This time off the bat of Kelly De Lannoy, who batted in both runners, then scored herself on a sacrifice fly by Michelle Edgtton.
With a 10-3 lead, Sheila van der Tang took over the pitching for Twins in the fifth inning to face her former teammates.
