In game two, Husson used two big innings to complete the sweep. The Eagles put up seven runs in the bottom of the first inning for a 7-0 lead. Thomas College responded with four of their own in the second, but the hosts exploded again with six more in the third to put it out of reach. Parke, David Leblanc, Brandon Smith, and Evan Holzworth each had two hits with Curtis knocking in three runs and Chris Ewanik two. Harrison Lendrum (2-0) picked up the win on the mound allowing four runs on seven hits over 4.0 innings. Kyle Gleason had two hits and Kapelmann a pair of RBI for the Terriers.
