Game two saw the Eagles' offense explode, highlighted by an eight-run fourth inning to secure the 11-1 run-rule victory. The inning featured contributions across the lineup, including RBI singles from Hernandez and Williams, bases-loaded walks from Cantu, Humphrey, and Haynes, and a three-run triple from Ruiz.
TAMUT once again struck early, scoring three runs in the first inning behind a Williams RBI single and two wild pitches.
