In the top of the seventh inning, infielder Austin Green hit a three-run home run to put Texas Tech back in control with an 8-6 lead. However, the Wildcats rallied in the bottom of the eighth inning, scoring three runs to retake the lead, headlined by a Cole Johnson triple and concluding the game, 10-8.
