In the top of the seventh Sam Houston State looked like they were going to go ahead for good when they scored two runs when Ryan Farney had an RBI ground out and Colt Atwood posted an RBI single to go up 3-2.

UTA countered by scoring two runs in the bottom of the seventh and eighth innings each to wrap up the 6-3 win. In the seventh, UTA scored both runs without even getting a hit as the inning had a hits batsman, error, wild pitch and no ball was hit out of the infield.
