Garrett Guys relieved Sturges and, after an intentional walk to load the bases, struck out Ryan Arrick. But Ryne Head then drew a walk from Guys, forcing in Trey Cochran with the winning run for UTPB (13-12, 5-4).

Jordan Lopez, Blake Stringer and Caleb Price each had a pair of hits for OC, while Price had two RBIs. OC
