In game two, the top of the lineup stayed hot for the Pride, as Caroline Stanley went 4-4 with two runs scored in her home finale.  Meanwhile, M'Kenzie Davis was a homerun short of the cycle in her 3-4 day that included a RBI-double in the 1st inning and a RBI-triple in the 3rd that put GC up 3-1.

Kassie Simmons went the distance from the mound, throwing a complete game, and allowing just one run.  She effectively utilized her defense, allowing just seven hits spread out over 7.0 innings pitched in the Pride's 5-1 game two win.
