Millikin then broke the game open with a sixth run seventh inning before adding single runs in the eighth and ninth. Mason McGahey doubled home two runs in the fifth inning for the Big Blue. Andrew Auton homered in the sixth and Tommy Shaw followed with a triple and scored on a wild pitch. Brent Beals had an inside the park grand slam home run in the Millikin seventh.

The Big Blue won game two 8-1 behind the stellar pitching of junior Caleb Buehrle who pitched a complete game allowing eight hits and one run with 11 strikeouts.
 
Millikin opened the scoring in the second inning on a run scoring double in the second inning. Leading 2-1, the Big Blue scored three runs in the seventh and three more in the eighth to secure the win. Beals had a two-run double to highlight the Millikin seventh. Frank Bryan's two-run double sparked the eighth rally.
