Wenner followed with a single before the runners moved into scoring position on a wild pitch. After the next two batters struck out, Nalley ripped a two-run double down the line in right field to bring Hood within a run.

York 14, Hood 12

• The Blazers started things off on the right foot in game two with three runs in the first. Stephen Sommer doubled with one out and a single by Patterson put runners on the corners. Wenner gave Hood a 3-0 lead with the team's first homer of the year, a drive over the fence in left field. 
• Austin Denlinger hit a solo home run in the bottom of the inning and after a run scored on a wild pitch in the second, a solo shot by Jack Barry tied the game in the third. 
• Nalley's two-run triple in the fifth drove in Sommer and Patterson to give the Blazers a 5-3 lead.
