Game two saw the FCSAA #10 Saints (14-7) fall behind 5-0 through four and a half innings. Things changed in the bottom of the fifth when the Santa FE bats came alive and put eight runs on the board, highlighted by the first career grand slam for Adrix Paradizo-Ramos that gave the Saints the lead.
Lincoln Land threatened in the seventh, scoring three runs, but Kaylan Tucker came in to record the final out, earning the save. Paola Flores picked up the win.
Paradizo-Ramos was 2-for-3 with four RBI, Escudero was 2-for-4, and Garcia 2-for-3.
