In game two, the Lady Eagles again used a big first inning to get control of the game as they rolled to the three-inning win. CFS scored seven runs in the first, ten in the second, and closed out the game with two more in the third, bringing the 15 run rule into play. The Lady Eagles pounded out 13 hits in the win.
Fort Campbell scored in each of its at-bats in the game, plating two runs in the first, and a run in each of the 2nd and 3rd innings.
