Game 2 – W&J 9, Thiel 0 (5 innings)
 
A six-run fifth inning turned a low-scoring game into a mercy rule situation in game two.
 
A 6-4-3 double play by the Presidents highlighted a scoreless first two innings between the Presidents and Tomcats.
 
In the third inning, the Presidents scored a pair of runs on a two out error by Thiel.
 
Freshman pitcher Jordan Hinz (Ellicott City, Md./Centennial) struck out the side in the bottom of the third inning as she didn't allow hit to any Thiel batter the first time through the lineup.
 
In the fourth, W&J extended its lead to 3-0. Thomas led off the inning with a double and Eckenrode drove her in with a two-out double of her own.
 
The Tomcats placed two runners on in the home half of the fourth, but Hinz was able to escape unscathed when a flyout to right field ended the inning.
 
A six-run fifth inning was highlighted by a two-run double by Eckenrode immediately followed by a two-run single off the bat of Scears. Thomas and Hinz both added RBI in the inning.
 
The Presidents preserved the shutout in the bottom of the fifth to earn the run rule victory.
 
Eckenrode went 4-4 with three doubles, three RBI and a pair of runs in the game two win. Thomas had a pair of hits, a double, a run and an RBI.
