The tables were turned in game two as the Slammers sent Jeff Beal to the hill, and just like in the 2017 championship series, the Redleg offense couldn’t get anything going against him. Beal would go the distance and took a shutout into the 7th inning before the Redlegs finally drew blood. Kyle Arend doubled to start the inning, Nick Davis later walked before James Robinson singled in a run. Jacob Robinson then singled to load the bases. Beal then notched his 10th strikeout of the game to record the second out of the inning. Ryan Gross delivered a two-run single to cut the lead to 8-3 but Beal buckled down and recorded his 11th strikeout of the game to finish off the Redlegs.

The Slammers used a two-run double by Rick Anderson in the 1st and a two-run blast by Dan Barhorst n the 4th to carry the offense.

The Redlegs (6-4) will take on the Dayton Cardinals (2-8) next weekend resuming a postponed game where they trail 3-1 in the 1st inning. Game 2 is a regularly scheduled 7-inning game.
