In the second game, RCTC scored a run in the third on a triple by Meyerhofer and led the state's No. 1-ranked team, Rainy River, 1-0 going into the seventh, only to lose 2-1.
Bunting, Raymond and Meyerhofer had hits for RCTC. Megan Scheid allowed eight hits and a walk, striking out one in pitching the distance.
