The Tigers then added four more runs in the fifth inning to extend their lead to 6-0. Metter held in the final two inning to take the win by that score.

Game 2

In the second game of the best-of-three series the Tigers scored two runs in the top of the first inning to take the early lead. They added five runs in the third inning and two more in the fourth to push that lead to 9-0 over the Eagles.
