Game 2 

Spartans pitcher Lexi Cotrill, who started both games of the doubleheader, thwarted any attempts made by the Lakers. Peyton Cory (Mexico, N.Y./ Mexico) drew a walk on Cotrill, while teammate Reagan Seelye (Elmira Heights, N.Y./ Thomas A. Edison) would go 1 for 3 with a single hit in the game. The Lakers would struggle to put anything together, ultimately dropping game 2 by a score of 9-0.
