On day three of round two, HCAW hosted Curaçao Neptunus. DSS went to Hoofddorp to face Pioniers, Cityside Apartments Quick Amersfoort slaughtered Silicon Storks in the Hague and L&D Amsterdam Pirates did not have any problems with De Glaskoning Twins in Amsterdam.
Curaçao Neptunus 5 – 1 HCAW
Three errors led to three unearned runs for Curaçao Neptunus. Not that the club wouldnot have won without the errors. HCAW could not get a grip on the pitches of the Neptunus pitchers. Only Japanese import Riki Saito gave up a run on two hits and a walk in one inning of work. Neptunus, on the other hand, scored two earned runs with Kaj Timmermans on the mound, so without those errors, the score would have been much more bearable. Timmermans gave up the first (earned) run in the second inning when Quentin de Cuba singled up the middle to drive in Shaldimar Daantji from second base.
The second earned run was scored in the fifth inning when Stijn van der Meer tripled down the right-field line and drove in Jochem Koedijk.
Elton Koeiman pitched 5.1 innings for Neptunus and limited HCAW to six hits, walked one and struck out two. With these 5.1 innings, Koeiman pitched long enough to earn the win.
Best hitter for Curaçao Neptunus was Jochem Koedijk as he went 2 for 4 with a run scored.
DSS 3 – 4 Hoofddorp Pioniers
Extra innings today in Hoofddorp. With the score tied at three at the end of the ninth, atenth frame had to be played.
Where Luuk ter Beek blanked Curaçao Neptunus for six innings last week, he gave three runs to DSS in the same number of innings today. The other two pitchers player/coach Mervin Gario used limited DSS to only two hits for the remainder of the game.

Cityside Apartments Quick Amersfoort 13 – 1 Silicon Storks
For two innings, Silicon Storks’ pitcher Jurrian Koks could keep Cityside ApartmentsQuick Amersfoort from scoring but then the Quick hitters jumped on him. In the third inning, Koks allowed four runs, one thanks to a throwing error.
In the fourth things got even worse as Quick scored five times on four singles and three errors.
Eventually, Quick Amersfoort scored four more runs, one in the sixth and three in the eighth, to limit the game to eight mercy rule innings. The sole run that Silicon Storks scored came in the fourth when Runai Coran and Kendrick Delima hit consecutive singles to get runners on the corners.
