Game two, in the bottom of the third lead off hitter Sarah Kollas doubled to left field and went to third on a sacrifice bunt from Morgan Crawford. Joya Greer would pinch run for Kollas, while batter Samyah Richardson drew a four-pitch walk. Richardson later steals second to move into scoring position. Greer and Richardson would score on Warrick singled down the right field line for a 2-0 lead.

With two on base and one out, Campbell responded as Kynadi Tipler doubled to right center to tie the game even at 2-2. Tipler would reach home on base hit from Christa Hall to give Campbell a 3-2 advantage. Campbell would score one run the fifth to close the win 4-2.
