Terrasvogels opened the score in the first at bat off of starter Cheyenne Scheffer.
Lead-off hitter Kimberly Jones was hit by a pitch, stole second base, then scored on a following single by Ella Krommendijk.
The latter advanced when an outfield-error followed.
The bases got loaded when Jessie van Aalst walked and Marisèla de Wind also was hit a pitch.
A wild pitch then led to the second run.
Two unearned were added in the second inning.
With two outs, Kimberly Jones (fielder's choice) and Ella Krommendijk (single) both scored when an error was made on a fly by Jessie van Aalst.
After leaving two runners in scoring position in the third at bat, Terrasvogels scored four more runs in the fourth to increase the lead to 8-0.
Kimberly Jones led off with a single and advanced on a grounder.
Next, Jessie van Aalst drilled the ball into rightfield for a single, but when an outfield-error followed, both she and Jones scored.
This led to a pitching change.
Daniëlle ten Donkelaar took over, but she was greeted with a triple by Marisèla de Wind, then Lisa Waasdorp reached on an error.
Another error on a grounder by Lizzie Clarijs and a sacrifice fly by Jessica Waasdorp then led to the next two runs.
Winning pitcher Ginger de Weert struckout eight batters and threw a No-Hitter.
Only two batters reached base, both via an error.
Lindsey Meadows was the first in the second inning.
She popped up towards third base, where the ball was missed.
The ball touched fair territory and ended up in foul territory, but it wasn't clear whether the ball left the field before or after third base.
In the meantime, Meadows ended up on second base.
Initially it was ruled a foul ball, but that was argued, resulting in a conference between the two umpires.
The call was reversed and Meadows was sent back to first base.
She then advanced on a wild pitch and moved on a grounder, but stranded on third base.
In the fourth inning, lead-off hitter Annemiek Jansen reached on an error, but was caught stealing.
