Eden Forget joined in on the fun popping off a RBI single to send Hughes into home plate. Costa would end the AMCATS scoring for the night sending out an RBI single up the middle to help get Forget in for the AMCATS sixth run of the night. Unfortunately it wouldn't be enough for the win as the Bulldogs closed the game out 8-6 over the AMCATS

After losing game one to the Bulldogs, the AMCATS came out on fire for game two putting up an astounding eight runs in the first inning. Saylor Costa started the scoring with an RBI double to send Sam Dahill in for run number one. Costa would later make her way home off a wild pitch for run number two. Next Ashley Garcia popped one over to left center for an RBI single allowing Sabrina Liston to make it home. Immediately after Madison Romano doubled down the left field line sending Garcia right back to home plate for the AMCATS fourth run of the inning. An Error from the left fielder allowed Eden Forget to reach first and Romano to run home. After a Bulldogs pitching change the AMCATS scored two quick runs off a passed ball and a wild pitch one right after another. Saylor Costa would make her way back into the batters box in the top of the first inning Singling one out to right field for the AMCATS final run of the inning as Sam Dahill was able to round third right into home off an error from the right fielder. The AMCATS closed out the inning leading over the Bulldogs 8-2. 

After an outstanding first inning, the AMCATS were held at eight runs until the fourth inning where Rory Hughes would bunt to send Ashley Garcia home for the AMCATS final run of the night. The game would get called off after five innings played due to the lighting on the field resulting in an AMCATS 9-2 win in five innings.
