When the dust had settled, Southwest had sent 17 men to the plate picked up seven hits and used six Coahoma errors to score 11 runs and take a 12-4 lead.
 
For good measure, the Bears added five more runs in the bottom of the sixth to reach their final margin of victory. Patric Devlin scored the first on an Austin ground out. Then, with two outs and the bases loaded, Scivicque blasted a no-doubt, bases-loaded home run over the left field fence for the final runs of the game and giving him six runs batted in for the game.
 
Ferrell and Austin both ended the game with three hits. Austin also had three RBI’s. Jones had two hits and two RBI’s while Kendric Hodges and Andrew Hulbert also hit safely. Collin Carroll also drove in a run.

Southwest took a 4-0 lead in the first inning of game two. Hodges and Scivicque both singled to drive in a run while Lacoste hit a sacrifice fly to score another and Scivicque reached the plate on an error.
 
Crifasi singled to drive in a run in the second inning while Lacoste scored on an error in the fourth to extend the Southwest lead to 6-0. The final runs for the Bears came in the fifth inning when Lacoste doubled to drive in a run and both Devlin and Scivicque singled to drive in a run.
