In Game 2, a Trucks RBI single in the bottom of the ninth handed the Flying Dutchmen their third walkoff loss in five games.

Hope evened the score at 5-5 with a two-run eighth. First baseman Landon Brower of Holland, Michigan (Holland Christian) followed up an RBI double with a bases-loaded walk.

The Flying Dutchmen rallied to even the score at 3-3 with a two-run fourth. Carrasco, a senior from Grandville, Michigan (Calvin Christian), scored on a Lepore single. Lepore then came home on a run-scoring hit by designated hitter Trace Slancik of Scotts, Michigan (Vicksburg).
