Jenna Gaisford took the loss in the circle going three innings and Keira Warwick finished out the game.

Game two started out a little slower with Broome holding a 5-3 lead in the top of the fifth before Niagara exploded for seven runs in the bottom of the inning and the 10-5 lead. The bats were more prevalent in game two, posting nine hits in all by six different players. Ramstine, Carlini and Warwick each had two hits in the game. One of Ramstine's hits was a home run, and Gaisford and Carlini each had a double. Also adding to the hit totals were McKenna Beers and Alana Espinoza. Espinoza got the loss, pitching four and one third innings and again, Warwick finished out the game. The Hornets dropped to 9-15 overall while the Thunderwolves improved to 24-13 overall.
