The second game of the series started out slow. The pace was picked up by the Bobcats when they scored two in the top of the second. Those runs were unanswered and then added to in the fourth inning when Wesleyan scored two more runs.
The Rams were unable to put the bat on the ball with Sayaka Foley in the circle for the Bobcats.
