Cameron jumped out ahead by two in the top of third the first game after CU strung together four straight hits with one out.   The Aggies lead would be short-lived through after UTPB plated a run in fourth and tacked on three additional runs in the fifth scoring a run off on an illegal pitch and a two RBI double to put the Falcons ahead 4-2.

UTPB added two more insurance runs in the sixth off of a one out double.
