In the second game, Washington posted one run in the first, and held a 1-0 lead to the fourth, when the Eagles knotted the score on a Nick Ciuffreda single, groundout, and walk to load the bases. Andrew Gearhart's RBI groundout plated the run.

Washington scored five runs in the fifth before UMW plated four in the bottom of the frame. Sam Freeborne knocked in a pair of runs, and Gearhart added a two-run single.
