RBI.

Curaçao Neptunus 0 – 3 Oosterhout Twins
With some luck (read a little help from the weather gods) Oosterhout Twins handed Curaçao Neptunus its second loss of the season.
A single by Shurman Marlin drove in the opening run in the first inning. Tyriq Kemp drove in Rayshelon Carolina in the third inning and Ruendrick Piternella hit a solo home run in the fourth to reach the final score.
With his outing of today, it looks like Teisei Nakamura is regaining his old form again. He pitched five solid innings and allowed three hits, walked one and struck out seven. After five innings he was replaced by Pastor Chavez, who retired the side in the fifth but allowed runners on first and second in the seventh with no outs. But at that moment, the rain began to fall which led to the game to be called. 
Teisei Nakamura earned the win, Misja Harcksen took the loss. In 2.1 innings, he gave up two runs on five hits.
Tyriq Kemp was the best hitter for Oosterhout Twins as he went 2 for 2 with an RBI and a run scored.
