In game two, the Cardinals held a 1-0 lead going into the fourth when FSU surged in front by a 2-1 score. However, Saginaw Valley State answered with three runs in the fourth and then put six on the board in the bottom of the fifth to win the game in five innings, totaling seven hits to four for FSU.
Bulldog freshman first baseman Alexis Kozlowski homered for FSU and finished with two hits while left fielder Maddie Gkekas had a hit and an RBI. Designated player Emily Killion also recorded a hit for FSU.
Depew earned her 18th win for Saginaw Valley State, allowing two runs on three hits with three strikeouts and two walks in four innings. Aalana Kimble got the save by holding FSU off the board in one inning with a single hit allowed in addition to two strikeouts.
