Game 2 between Empire and Superior started off fairly close. However, Fox from Superior had Elder on the ropes and eventually had a 3-2 count but he would dish up a pitch right at his sweet spot and Elder took it deep for a 2 run shot that would give Empire the early lead in the game.
Superior had chances as B. Williams had some control issues and had 3 walks in the first but the Panthers could not get the timely hit to break thru for any runs. Later in the game Superior would tie it up at 2 but that was as close as they would get as D. Williams matched Elder with a 2 shot dinger of his own to give Empire the lead for good as the Ravens show why they have the power to make a run for the South division with 18 runs for the day.

Delgado from Superior and D. Williams from Empire were named the AZSports Players of the game. B. Williams got the win for Empire and Fox got the loss for Superior.
