In Game 2 of the double header, the Chix won a thrilling game 4 -3. The Chix offense started slowly in this game and were down 2-0 after 3 innings. But the 4th inning, the Chix loaded the bases and Keenan Faber tied the game with a 2 RBI single. He later scored the go ahead run on a wild pitch to give the Chix a 3-2 lead.
