Five New Hampshire arms saw action in game two after Van Eyk went the distance in game one.

Hartford plated three runs in the top of the second inning when it led off the frame with a double from first baseman Zach Kokoska, followed by a single from Jorge. Kokoska scored on a passed ball before right fielder GJ Hill plated a run on a triple to center field. Catcher Ben McCabe cashed in Hill with an RBI single, which gave the Yard Goats a 3-0 lead after two innings.
New Hampshire rattled off two runs in the bottom of the third inning when designated hitter Jace Bohrofen drilled a double off the right-center field wall, scoring catcher Robert Brooks and Schreck. The Fisher Cats had two runners on base before Hartford turned a 4-6-3 double play to escape the bottom of the third with a 3-2 lead.
After the Yard Goats added one more run in the top of the seventh inning, the Fisher Cats brought the go-ahead run to the plate in the bottom of the seventh. With runners on first and second, Hartford's Collin Baumgartner slammed the door with a strikeout and the Yard Goats took game two, 4-2.
