Looking to redeem themselves, the Mariners took the field strong in the second game. The score was 0-0 until the Mariners found a rhythm in the third inning scoring five runs. They continued to roll with their batting, scoring another five runs to end the game by mercy rule in the fifth inning. The Mariners took the game 10-1.
On Saturday, July 16 the Mariners hosted Kootenai Valley Rangers for their last double-header conference game of the season. The Rangers stayed close in the first three innings, but the Mariners pulled away in the fourth to win the game 12-5.
