In Game 2, the Titans got off to a quick start as Courtney Stout hit a triple and scored on a ball that got past the catcher in the bottom of the first inning.

Starting pitcher Mandy Hedetniemi-Taylor held Seminole State College scoreless for the first three innings, getting out of a jam in the third.

But Seminole State College took the lead in the top of the fourth inning, using their speed to score three times in the inning. They would score twice in the fourth and fifth innings to complete the sweep.
