UTRGV (4-0) head coach Derek Matlock becomes the third head coach out of 12 in program history to get off to a 4-0 start in his first season, tying the program record held by Larry Ensminger (1966) and Red Connor (1959).

UTRGV scored twice in each of the next four innings. In the fourth, UTRGV scored on a groundout by junior Anthony Gomez and a Dees single. In the fifth, UTRGV took advantage of a wild pitch and a bases loaded walk to go up 7-2. In the sixth, UTRGV scored on a wild pitch and a Grubbs sacrifice fly.
