Game 2 was another invocation of the 10-run rule in 6 innings, thanks to a 5-run rally in the bottom of the 6th. Leo Cedeño led the Caps with 3 RBI on 2 doubles, and Ian Deering launched a solo home run to deep right center at Finsbury Park. Masa Hashiguchi secured the win with a complete game performance with 5 Ks on just 69 pitches.
