In Game 2 of the Saturday doubleheader it was a much closer matchup as the Toronto-based rivals were all square at 6-6 after seven innings. However, a three run eighth inning sealed the win for the Blue and White. Rennie added to her strong Saturday outing with another two RBI and another run, going 2-for-4 with another big triple. Cho was also critical in the win consistently putting herself in position to score as she crossed the plate three times in the victory. Jeffrey earned her second win of the day appearing in relief during the back-and-forth contest versus the Lions.

A busy road weekend ahead, the Blues will first travel to Kingston on Saturday (Sept. 20) to challenge the Queen's Gaels before continuing to the nation's capital to face the Ottawa Gee-Gees on Sunday (Sept. 21). First pitch versus the Gaels is scheduled for 2 p.m., while the Blues and Gee-Gees will start at 11 a.m. the next morning.
