Game two of the doubleheader did not start as planned as the Lady Spartans misplayed some balls and starting pitcher Fredrickson struggled to find the strike zone. Ridgewater scored six in the top half of the first for an early 6-0 lead. The Lady Spartans answered in the bottom half of the first with three runs of their own. Fredrickson would settle down and pitch an outstanding game the rest of the way, allowing Ridgewater single runs in the top of the second and seventh innings. That gave the Lady Spartans plenty of time to go to work with the bats. They scored six runs in the bottom of the third highlighted by hits from Jones, Chloe Koljonen, Foley and Asher Burslie to take a 9-7 lead. They took advantage of some Ridgewater mistake to add two more runs in the bottom of the sixth for an 11-7 lead.
