Rhody scored again in the fifth when Odalys Torres crossed the plate after a wild pitch from Bonnie starter Christine Keleher. St. Bonaventure posted four runs in the bottom of the fifth to take an 8-4 lead.

The Rams almost mounted the comeback, scoring three runs in the sixth. Kassie Harrelson led off the inning with a walk, but was thrown out at second when Hiteman grounded into a double play. With two outs, Danielle Quimby singled to left field and was followed by a Poedubicky single. Wall came up to bat with two runners on base and doubled to left field, plating Quimby. Torres then hit a two run single to center field, scoring Poedubicky and Wall. Christine Gentile went down swinging to end the Ram's ralley. Rhode Island failed to have a runner cross the plate in the sixth and lost 8-7.

Torres (3-5) suffered the loss in the second game pitching 2.1 innings and allowing five earned runs on eight hits. Keleher (17-9) picked up her second win of the day, throwing five full innings and allowing just one hit.
