Brock 12 Holliday 1

Body
Game 2 of the series started very similar to Game 1, as Holliday once again scored the first run of the game after third baseman Rylan Hutchins knocked in fellow infielder Parker Jones for a two-out RBI-single. Hutchins was stranded though as Brock secured the final out before allowing anymore damage.

Canada tripled to lead off in the bottom of the fourth to set up the winning and only run of the game thanks to Schroeder’s long fly ball.
