WT's Tyler Reagan homered in the second inning to cut the deficit to 2-1,  but Cameron answered back with five runs in the bottom of the second.  Josh Barnett's three-run homer supplied the bulk of the ammunition.

In the sixth, Cameron's Josh Barnett homered and teammate Clint Powell hit a two-run double to left field bringing, making the score 19-3 in favor of the Aggies..

The Buffaloes plated five runs during the seventh.  Will McLaughlin's two-run double was key to the rally, but the game ended due to the run-rule.

Logan Grimes (7-0) picked up the win for Cameron, while WT's Billy Zeleznak (0-1) took the loss as he lasted just 1.1 innings, allowing eight hits and seven runs (five earned).  Brandon Hickey pitched 1.2 innings, allowing four runs on four hits and Adam Kramer worked the final three innings, giving up eight runs on eight hits.
