Spring Lake turned the tables in Game 2. The Lakers took the lead with four runs in the fourth inning and won 5-4. Vaughn had two hits and pitched the victory for Spring Lake. Molly Poole homered for the Lakers.

Crow hit her fourth home run of the day for Grand Haven. Anna McWatters added a two-run single.
