Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

Another run was scored in the top of the sixth with yet another solo home run, this time by Andrew Frazier.

North Greenville would strike it rich in the top of the eighth inning. With the entire lineup batting in the inning, the Crusaders were able to score eight runs to bring the score to 11-7 in favor of North Greenville.

The Crusaders would add five insurance runs in the ninth inning as well. Avery Greer finished out the game, allowing one hit and a walk but no runs.

Game 2 was dominated by starting pitcher Canaan Cropper, who pitched a complete game shutout and allowed only three hits.

North Greenville's first run of the game came in the third inning with an RBI double by Clark Scolamiero.

Two additional runs for the Crusaders came in the fourth, with Andrew Frazier stealing home and an RBI single by Ryan Brown.

Another run would come in the fifth inning by a sacrifice fly by Nathaniel Maggio, who also hit an RBI single in the seventh.
