Texas A&M added single runs in the bottom of the second and third, respectively, on RBI singles by Jeff Freeman and Ryan Wardinsky to jump out to a 5-0 lead.

A&M would tally again in the fourth when Neal Stephenson connected on an RBI double to deep center field, scoring Freeman and giving the Aggies a six-run advantage.

Wardinsky hit his first homerun of the year in the fifth, a two-run shot to right field that scored Ty Garner. Three batters later, Matt Alexander doubled in David Evans from first to make the score 9-0 in favor of Texas A&M.

The Aggies scored their final two runs on a two-RBI double by Ty Garner in the eighth. Pan Am scored single runs in the seventh on a Matt Sisk RBI single and in the ninth on a home run to left by Adam Farek.
