The Seattle Monarchs took Game 2 of the Cecil Cup from the Lenape with an 8-5 victory. Seattle took a quick two run lead in the bottom of the first on a two run blast by Juan Gomez. The Lenape tied the game with a two run shot by Thomas Kalakay in the third. Lucio Muniz put the Monarchs ahead again with a solo shot in the bottom of the inning, only to find the game tied again when Jose Molina launched a shot to right.
The score remained tied until the Seattle half of the seventh. After Dewey Wilson grounded out, pinch hitter Ivan Castillo worked out a walk. Lucio Muniz moved him to second with a single and after Castillo stole third, Steve Wilson was intentionally walked to load the bases. Castillo then scored on a Juan Gomez ground out. This was followed by a Norman Kuhn walk which brought up Jonathan Anderson. Anderson launched a 3-1 pitch over the right field fence for a grand slam, giving Seattle a 8-3 lead.
The Lenape tried to come back in the next half inning, scoring two runs on a double, two singles and walk. However, Miguel Martinez struck out looking to end the inning. The Lenape were unable to score in the ninth, ending the game.
