Game Two: Mars Hill 6, Newberry 5
Camacho led the Wolves at the plate with three hits in the second game, while four Wolves hit home runs as the Lions edged Newberry by a run.

The Wolves scored their first run of the afternoon as junior Ashley Roof (Columbia, S.C.) homered to left center in the top of the second inning. Two batters later junior Gwenell Crawford (Yulee, Fla.) ripped a solo homer of her own giving Newberry an early two run lead.

The bottom of the third was unkind to the Wolves as the Lions hung a six-run inning on the scoreboard. Newberry answered in the top of the fourth with a pair of solo home runs coming off the bats of sophomore Paige Brugh (Indian Land, S.C.) and junior Shelley Jeffcoat (Lexington, S.C.).

Newberry plated their final run of the day in the top of the fifth when junior Brittany Phillips (Pacolet, S.C.) singled to lead off the inning and advanced to second on an error. Another Lions error allowed Phillips to score with two outs for the final run of the day.
