Tex Town Tigers vs. DSS (game two)
In the second game, Tex Town Tigers recorded a more convincing 9-2 victory and ended the game via the mercy-rule in the sixth inning.
In this game, the home team collected eleven basehits, including three by Annemiek Jansen and Laura Wissink, who also homered, as did Lindsey Meadows.
DSS opened the score in the top of the first inning with one run, but it could have been more, as it had runners on second and third base with only one out.
Lead-off hitter Noa Brand was hit by a pitch, then moved on a sacrifice bunt by Morgan Sampson and a single by Sophie Bugter.
Brand then scored when Feline Poot reached on an error.
With Bugter on third base, Poot stole second base, but they were left behind.
The lead was shortlived, as Tex Town Tigers answered with two runs in its first at bat.
Olivia Hornstein led off with a single and scored the tying run when Annemiek Jansen followed with a triple.
Moments later, the latter scored on a passed ball.
DSS came alongside in the third inning.
Morgan Sampson led off with a walk.
Hereafter, Lindsey Meadows relieved starter Cheyenne Scheffer.
She began with a strikeout, but then gave up an RBI-double to Feline Poot, who herself was eliminated at third base trying to stretch her hit into a triple.
In the bottom of the third inning, Tex Town Tigers struck with four runs to turn the game its way.
Annemiek Jansen led off with her second triple in the game to become the first player to do so this season.
Hereafter, Jasmine Peters walked and Laura Wissink followed with a 3-run homerun.
With one out, Lindsey Meadows hit her third homerun of the season, which gave TTT a 6-2 lead and led to a pitching change.
In the top of the fourth, DSS got runners on second and third base with one out.
Dominique Burger then doubled and Melissa de Greef's single was followed by an outfield-error.
Shortly hereafter, Burger was eliminated at the plate trying to score on a grounder towards third base by Quincey Catsburg and a grounder ended the at bat.
DSS again stranded two runners in the fifth inning.
With one out, Sophie Bugter and Feline Poot singled and moved to second and third base on a passed ball, but were left behind.
Tex Town Tigers took more distance by scoring two runs in the fifth inning.
With one out, the team had Nadine Marinus (fielder's choice) and Lindsey Meadows (single plus error) on second and third base.
And where DSS was unable to score, TTT did.
A sacrifice fly by Aafje van Baal and pinch-hit single by Danielle ten Donkelaar enabled both runners to score and lift the lead to 8-2.
In the top of the sixth, DSS left two runners behind for the third consecutive time, then TTT reached the 7-run, mercy-rule difference moments later.
With two outs, Jasmine Peters struckout, but reached on a wild pitch.
She then moved on a single by Laura Wissink.
After a double-steal, Peters scored on a walk-off single by Nadine Marinus to end the game.
