In game two, the Bulldogs opened the scoring with three runs in the bottom of the first inning. Zach Hogueisson singled to score Carson Ford who had been hit by a pitch and stole second. A two-run single by Parker Stinnett made it 3-0.

A pair of unearned runs extended the lead to 5-0 in the third and a three-run fifth inning put the game away. Carson Ford hit a two-run home run in the inning for the Bulldogs.
