Game two turned into a one run pitchers duel in a game where the two teams combined for just six hits.  Shawn Roof doubled and that was the only extra base hit.  Josh Rainwater took the loss despite a very nice start.  He gave up a run on three hits and three walks with five strikeouts in five innings.
