Game two turned into a pitching dual but one swing of the bat made the difference as Loras defeated Luther 1-0. The Norse were held to three hits, while the Duhawks managed five. The Duhawks Daniel Rodgers hit a solo shot to right field in the sixth that proved to be the game winner.

Peyton Lindmark, Cullen Stamp and Charlie Rubendall recorded the Norse hits. Carter Bratland was credited with the loss allowing one run on two hits, he walked two and struck out seven. Nick Dufoe started on the mound and went five full innings and allowed three hits, walked three and struck out six.

The loss gives Luther an A-R-C record of 22-6, 26-10 overall. Loras improved to 15-12 in the A-R-C, 21-13 overall.
