Game 2: 18 UC, 11 WU
UC's offense remained hot in game two, scoring 18 runs off of 21 hits. Despite the early lead and hot hitting by Charleston, Wheeling was able to come from behind and take the lead (9-8) in the bottom of the sixth inning. This did not stop the Golden Eagles though, as Andujar smacked a three run home run to take back the lead and infuse life into the UC offense again. The Golden Eagles would then bat around, which led to a third, three-run home run for Andujar, her second home run in the inning.

Andujar went 4-6 with a total of three home runs, eight runs-batted-in and three runs scored, while Rose went 5-5 with a home run, a double, four runs scored, two runs-batted-in and a walk. Montero also had a home run of her own, going 1-4 with two runs-batted-in, two runs scored, and a walk.

Brianna McCown came in relief for Danielle Bauer in the bottom of the sixth inning, and was able to secure the win with three strikeouts in three innings pitched.
