Elskamp had a triple and Hornback had a double to support the WolfPack's offensive charge. The WolfPack finished the game with eight hits.

The WolfPack offense stalled after the third inning as the Lady Wolves held them scoreless for the game's final four innings.

The Wolves took their late momentum from the first game into the second game and beat the WolfPack 8-2. Jami Ryan took the mound for the WolfPack and while she struck out five batters, she also gave up 15 hits to the Lady Wolves.

Kendra Mussehl led the way offensively for the WolfPack, going 1-for-3 from the plate and hitting a double.
