TLU senior right-hander Dylan Murrell (Tomball/Memorial) did not allow an earned run over his five innings of work. He struck out three and allowed three hits and two walks.

With the tying run at second and the go-ahead run at first in the ninth, Murrell recorded a strikeout looking to end the game.
