The men in orange added to their lead in the bottom of the fourth with Nolan Buegeling reached on a throwing error and Piternella came around to score when the throw went all the way to the fence behind first base, extending the Netherlands’ lead to 3-0.

The Netherlands found their bats yet again in the bottom of the sixth when Nolan Beugeling led off by reaching on an error. He advanced to second on a wild pitch, stretching the lead to 5-0. Tyler Boersma came up with the goods as he drew a walk, making the score 6-0 after the sixth.
