A fielding error by Sarah Perez at shortstop in the sixth inning led to the Aggies tying the game at 2-2 on a double over the head of Verhoef in center field. Nataly Lozano showcased her range in the outfield, recording the third out on a running grab in right-center, to keep the Aggies from taking another lead. 

Lopez and Coccillos hit back-to-back home runs in the top of the seventh to retake a 5-2 lead over the Aggies. Lopez gave the Titans a 4-2 advantage on a two-out, two-run home run to deep left field, before Coccillos turned on an 0-1 count and sent a ball over the left field wall.
