In their second game of the three game series, the Bluefield Blue Jays came out swinging early on and took it to the Pulaski Yankees, winning 12-5.
Bluefield put up a three spot in the second inning thanks to a solo jack from Angel Camacho and a two-run oppo taco from DJ Daniels.

Bluefield tallied another run in the third, extending their lead to 4-0 off of a Addison Barger homer.
However, that lead would quickly diminish in the bottom half of the frame when the P-Yanks tallied four runs thanks to a Roberto Chirinos RBI groundout. With bases juiced, Antonio Cabello cleared them with a three-run RBI double.
