Perry used a two-out single to right in the 4th to push the UTD lead to three runs before Aaron Fanning added a two-out single to right in the 5th to lift the Comets to a 6-2 cushion.

Craig picked up his third RBI of the game, scoring Perry, with a two-out double in the 6th. Craig later scored on the only 'Roo error of the game on a Ryan Burciaga ground ball later in the frame.  UTD would tack on an RBI single by Adams in the 7th and a two-out RBI double by Zach Jordan in the 8th.

Comet freshman starter Orion Drymond (1-4) picked up his first win collegiate win, giving up just two earned run on five hits in 5.0 innings on the mound. Drymond struck out two 'Roo batters while issuing three walks. Jordan Box, Josiah Rohne and Carter Cochrane combined for 4.0 relief innings, allowing a combined one unearned run on just two hits.

Craig and Dylan Palmer each finished the game 3-for-5 from the plate while Fanning was 2-for-4 and Jordan was 2-for-5.
