In game 2, the Bellevue bats were quieted in a 3-1 loss.  Kyle Decater was the lone offensive bright spot, as he led the Bulldogs going 3 for 3 with a double and a run scored.  Starting pitcher Stephen Foster threw 2 scoreless innings, allowing no hits and striking out 2.  Kaylor Hasbargen suffered the loss in relief, allowing one run in 2 innings of work.
