In game two, Junction City scored two in the first and three in the second before Emporia High got on the board in the bottom of the second on a bases loaded walk by Yzabel Ultreras. The Lady Spartans got two in the third with Addie Kirmer stealing home and an RBI groundout by Ryane Howe. Junction City responded with two in the fourth, three in the fifth and six in the sixth for the win. Kirmer went 3-for-3 at the plate.
