In game two, Corning took a 2-0 lead into the top of the 4th inning when the Cannoneers plated 2 runs to tie the game.  The Red Barons finally showed some offensive pop when they scored 3in the 5th and 4 in the 6th before allowing Jefferson 3-runs in the top of the 7th.  Kersch was 2 for 3 with 2 RBI's while Grace Vondracek went 2 for 3 with a triple.  Jayden Hill picked up 2 RBI's while Jodie Burdick doubled in 2 runs and Wood doubled collecting 2 more RBI's.  Ryleigh Carson was also 2 for 3 in the game.  Hill picked up her 9th victory scattering 8 hits and striking out 10.
