Game 2: Southeastern 11, SWOSU 8
The Bulldogs scored all eight of their runs via home run in the series finale on Saturday, but it was a grand slam by Southeastern in the bottom of the seventh that was the difference as the Savage Storm scored five runs in the final inning for a walkoff win.
 
Brooks Red and Smith hit solo home runs in the second and fourth innings, respectively, before Bedard clubbed a grand slam of his own in the fifth inning to tie the game at 6-6. Griffin Larsen got his chance to go yard in the sixth and hit came through with a two-run bomb, which put SWOSU up 8-6, a lead they would maintain until the bottom of the seventh.
 
Vance Ferraro and Haden Branch combined to strike out six and allowed seven runs on eight hits over the first 6.1 innings of action. Ryan Hildner (4-1) was called on in relief and took the loss after being tagged for four runs on four consecutive hits.
