In the circle, Kayla Kocher delivered a steady outing, earning her ninth win of the season while limiting Spalding to three runs across six innings.

Greenville's relentless offensive pressure and balanced attack in game two showcased the team's resilience, securing an important conference split and maintaining momentum in SLIAC play.
