Sarah Butts (Greenfield) was the only Pointer to collect two hits, finishing game two 2-for-3 and also recorded the lone Pointer RBI, a two-out single to left center, scoring Allie Dorn (Greenville).

Dorn took the loss in game two, allowing 10 hits and seven runs, all earned, while notching three strikeouts.
