In game two the Huskies offense picked up where it left off in game one. In the second inning the Huskies

In the fifth though Christina Tressler led off the inning with a long homer to center breaking up both the no-hitter and the shutout. Clarion would later get a runner on via a walk and a hit-by-pitch, but Black got a pop out to end the threat.
In the bottom of the fifth the Huskies added a bases loaded ground out by Kuhns to make it 8-1, then won the game in the sixth.
Hannah Moir (Mount Laurel, NJ/Lenape ) led off the sixth getting hit by a pitch with Fredell following with a homer to left to win the game on the mercy rule.
Black finished the one-hitter with four strikeouts and two walks along with her 3-3 at the plate and two runs scored.

Baer led off the game with a triple with
Kayla McHale (Dillsburg/Northern) reaching via the bunt to put runners at the corner. Fredell singled to right center scoring Baer. Belko then delivered a three-run homer to center for a 4-0 lead. After a ground out, Rehm reached on a three-base error and scored on Bell's single.
The Huskies tacked on two runs in the second with Belko getting an RBI double and Rehm a sac fly RBI. Bloomsburg closed out the scoring in the third with
Erica Keen (Gordonville/Bishop Shanahan) coming off the bench to get an RBI double, while Belko drove in her fifth run of the game on a single. The Huskies other run of the inning came on an error.
Paine finished with nine strikeouts and no walks and at one point had retired 12 straight after giving up a leadoff double.
