Game 2 was supposed to be a showdown between two CYA candidates, A. bin Tarif and Yamamoto. That plan went out the window when bin Tarif left game in the 1st inning with shoulder problems. the Yamamoto held up his end of the bargain, throwing 6.2 shutout innings.

Mile High turned to former Shires player (and long time nemesis) Jordan Montgomery, who came through for the Mammoths with 3 innings of shutout relief, before also leaving the game with an injury.

Bin Tarif has a torn rotator cuff and will miss the next 14 months. Montgomery is still waiting for his diagnosis.

The teams traded run scoring singles in the 8th and 9th innings, sending the game into extra innings, tied 1-1. Luke Adams singled off Lara and stole 2nd base, eventually scoring on a Masyn Winn triple to the deep left center gap, and that would be the deciding run.

In the face of growing obstacles, Mile High, showed an admirable level of resolve in coming through with the series tying victory.
