Straw hit a two-run homer in the 1st, his second of the day, to open the scoring in game two. Dan Woodward (Honeoye) answered with a solo homer of his own in the 2nd but the Wasps took full control of the game with a four run 3rd inning. Straw collected a two-run double to key the inning.

Straw finished 2 for 4 with 4 RBI while Zach Smith and Hunter Jeffries each collected a pair of hits. Woodward finished 2 for 3 with the solo homer while Jesse Swan (Campbell Savona) was 2 for 3.
