After losing game one of the World Championship Series, the Brooklyn Knights felt good about their chances in game two. Brooklyn's starter was Marcos Delgadillo (22-6, 2.97 ERA), NALB's winningest pitcher this season. Stade chose Newton Kittler (8-7, 4.15 ERA) as their starting pitcher.

Kittler was rocked early and couldn't make it through two innings. He gave up five runs in the second, which was highlighted by a three run homer by Romeo Usquiano. The Knights also got a three run home run from Flavio Marquez in the fifth inning. However, it was Brooklyn first baseman Joe Barnstaple that was named the player of the game. Barnstaple was 2 for 4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2.

Marcos Delgadillo struggled in the fourth inning as he allowed three runs to the Maples. Other than that, he was quite effective pitching 5.1 innings with 0 walks and 9 strikeouts.

Final score: Brooklyn 10, Stade 3
