The Warriors were behind 5-0 after the first inning of the second game but responded with a five-run inning of their own in the second. Marion put together four more runs in the third.

Lyons tied the score at nine in the fifth, but Sarah Guetersloh scored on an error in the bottom of the inning. Lyons again knotted the score in the sixth, but J.D. Schafers drove in Johnson and Cain drove in Schafers with a triple to take the 12-10 final advantage.
