The Warriors would add two more runs in the second before plating six in the third, capped by a pinch-hit grand slam off the bat of Jayme Konig.

In game two it was the Gray Wolves that took the lead with two runs in the first.  Emily Wallace (Thornville, Ohio/Lakewood H.S.) singled home the game's first run before scoring on a double by Annalisse Palma (Battle Creek, Mich./Lakeview H.S.).  Albert added an RBI hit in the second before scoring on an error giving Lourdes a 4-0 lead after two innings.
 
Indiana Tech (25-10, 7-5 WHAC) tied the game with four runs in the top of the third, only for Lourdes to bounce back with three of its own in the bottom of the frame.  Olivia Hickman (Trenton, Mich./Trenton H.S.) plated Wallace with a double before Megan Richardson (Napoleon, Ohio/Napoleon H.S.) had a two-base hit of her own late in the inning to score two more runs, giving the Gray Wolves a 7-4 lead.
