York managed to put together a nice rally in the final inning, scoring four runs after being held out without a hit for the first four innings. Joviette Frederick, Jennifer Duverge, Meriem Alahiane and Renita Raghubir each had RBI's in the inning.
Game two was competitive until the Lady Bears pulled away late. St. Joseph's scored two in the fourth, two in the fifth and four in the sixth, to put the game out of reach. York pitcher Renita Raghubir pitched well, allowing five hits and two earned runs in six innings.
