In game two, Salisbury’s big inning occurred in the third inning, when the team scored fourteen runs on nine hits and were helped by two errors.

Salisbury would add a single run in the second as Pegelow reached on an error by Gallaudet left fielder Jonathan Chanin that scored Colin Kraus (Easton, MD/Easton). 

In the fourteen run third, Lemon blasted a three-run homerun to begin the scoring after Riley singled and Bostwick walked. Kraus added a solo-shot after Lemon for the fourth run. Trout would then add another RBI single, followed by a single by Reynolds, a walk to Jensen, and then a two-run single by Bostwick. Lemon would then come up to the plate again to blast his second three-run blast in the inning. The scoring would close with an RBI single by Pegelow, an RBI groundout by Reynolds, and a two-run double by Jensen. 

Salisbury would then have three-run innings in the fourth and fifth. In the fourth, the offense was highlighted by three-run homerun by Theibault. In the sixth, Bostwick added a solo homerun, while Theibault hit his second homerun of the game with a two-run blast. 

At the plate, the Sea Gulls displayed offensive firepower that included 45 runs and 35 hits on the afternoon. Individually, Lemon finished the day with four hits in six at-bats with five runs scored and eight runs driven in. Other hitting stars included Kraus, who collected two hits in five at-bats on the day with  seven runs scored and an RBI; Theibault with a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs scored and five driven in; and second baseman Mark Bostwick, who collected three hits in four at-bats in game two with three runs scored and four RBIs. 

On the mound, the Sea Gulls combined to three hit the Bison, with hits from shortstop Warren Keller and third baseman Adrian DeHoyos in game one; and DeHoyos with a single in game two. Salisbury game one starter Adam Keeling (Suffolk, VA/Nansemond-Suffolk) pitched the first three innings of no-hit ball while striking out four to earn the win. Reliever Eric Willey (Cambridge, MD/Cambridge) finished the game pitching four innings, giving up just two hits and striking out seven. In game two, Petersen worked the first three innings, giving up the only hit to the Bison with striking out six to earn the win for Salisbury.
