In game two, the Beaver offense performed much better in this contest, having 12 hits in the game. The offense was led by Alex Filippi (Monaca, Center), Pashuta and Tom Lewis (Aliquippa, Hopewell) who each had two hits. Lewis finished the game with two doubles. Filippi, Andrew DiPietrantonio (Beaver, Beaver) and Markus Allen (New Castle, Union) each had an RBI.
