The Wildcats scored a run in the fourth and fifth to open up a 3-1 lead. The fourth inning tally came courtesy of a pair of two-out doubles, while a lead-off walk in the fifth led to the third run.

TCU used some two-out magic of its own in the seventh to get the game tied at three. Nolan Traeger's two-out single made it a 3-2 ballgame and Kyuss Gargett tied the game with a base hit up the middle.
