In the second game, C-SC scored two runs in the top of the first inning on back-to-back RBI doubles by Thompson and Rosa Anquiano. 

HLGU tied the game in the bottom of the first and then scored three more runs in the fourth inning to take a 5-2 lead.

The Wildcats got one run back and pulled to within 5-3 in the fifth inning thanks to two Trojan errors.

C-SC tied the game in the sixth inning on a run-scoring double by Felt and a RBI single by Anquiano.

After a leadoff single in the bottom of the seventh, HLGU loaded the bases with a walk and a hit batter with one out. A second walk allowed the winning runs to score and stop the C-SC win streak at three games.
