Birds vs. Carrousel
Birds closed the first day of the tournament with a 2-0 win against Carrousel behind a strong outing of Lisa Hop. The righthander threw a complete game one-hitter and struckout six batters.

Lisa Hop retired the first 14 batters in a row (the last four with a strikeout), but her Perfect Game ended with two outs in the fifth when Katja Aleshina singled. She was left behind on first base, as Hop closed the inning with her sixth strikeout. With one out in the sixth, she walked a batter, but a double play then ended the inning and the game.

Birds had opened the score in the second inning. Celine Janssens led off with a single, advanced on a grounder by Fleur Bos and scored on a single by Laura Iannelli. Hereafter, Lisa Bouwman walked, but a double play followed.

The team from Zoetermeer added its next run in the fourth and it was again scored by Celine Janssens. This time, she led off with a triple and scored with two outs when a grounder by Lisa Bouwman ended in a throwing error.
