Tyler Cauley (Baytown/Barber Hill) kicked off scoring in the fourth inning with a solo home run to left field. Chad Curtis (Wolfforth/Midland JC) and Lemon each registered RBI singles.

Senior Dylan Drgac (Caldwell/Caldwell) picked up the win with seven innings of work. He struck out five and walked one. Drgac improved to 2-0.

Redshirt junior Nathan Malinovsky (New Braunfels/New Braunfels) earned his second save on the season with two innings of pitching relief. Malinovsky struck out one.

Varner had three hits and scored a run, and Cauley also collected two hits and scored a run. Lemon and Curtis both went 1-for-4 with an RBI.
