The Eagles battled late to stay within striking distance but were unable to complete the comeback. Hudsonville responded in Game 2 with a thrilling 7-6 win to earn the split. James Brock led the offensive charge with a huge three-hit, three-RBI performance, while Kayden Rodriguez added a hit and two RBIs. Luke Uhlig contributed a hit and an RBI, with additional hits coming from Aiden Straus and Carson Weemhoff. On the mound, Uhlig started and threw 2 1/3 innings before Condon worked 1 2/3 innings in relief, setting the stage for Rodriguez to close things out. The game ended in dramatic fashion as Brady Miller turned a clutch double play to seal the victory for Hudsonville. With the split, Hudsonville and West Ottawa will meet again Thursday to decide the series winner.
