Weatherford College RHP Cole Brady would finish the game allowing one earned run off one hit, recording two walks and six strikeouts.
Victoria would score quickly to begin the game with five runs in the first inning. Four more runs in the fourth would give the Generals a 9-0 lead but Brazos Valley would begin to rally back, driving in two runs in the fifth and five more in the seventh. The Victoria pitching staff would finish strong allowing no more runs to score.
In the first inning, Texas State CF Damian Whitfield would single and eventually come around to score due to an error by the Bombers shortstop allowing UT-Arlington 3B Tyce Armstrong to reach on a fielder's choice. New Mexico 1B Reed Spenrath would hammer an RBI double allowing Armstong to score. A RBI double hit by Murray State DH Gage Gilchrist would add to the lead, scoring Spenrath. Then, a 2-run shot by Rey Mendoza would open the game up early.
In the fourth, Abilene Christian SS Riley Bender and McNeese State 2B Easton Dowell would draw walks while Texas A&M-Corpus Christi C Jared Harris got hit by a pitch loading the bases for Western Oklahoma State RF Derec Cerda. A bases-clearing double by Cerda would score three Generals and an Armstrong RBI double would score one more.
In the eighth, two walks would allow Mendoza and Bender to reach base. Dowell would draw another walk and be credited with 2 RBIs due heads up baserunning from Mendoza and Bender after a lack of attention from the Bomber’s defense. Victoria would complete the game with nine hits and one error.
