The Devilbears started and ended their victory with two-run rallies with Carter Stebane providing most of the offense, going 2-4 with two RBI.

The A's had five hits, drew four walks, and won the error battle 2-1, but came up empty for only the third time this year. Trevor Reinhardt led the A's with two hits while Kyle Routhieaux, Phillip Daniels, and Blake Robillard accounting for the others. Owen Deprez took the loss, allowing four runs (2 ER) on seven hits and three walks while striking out nine.

Game 3 is Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. as the series shifts to Casco VIllage Park.
