\nTexas A&M fell behind early, allowing six runs on four hits and four free passes in the opening frame.
\n\u00a0
\nOl’ Sarge’s charges responded with a nine-run second inning, highlighted by two home runs, including Perez’s grand slam and Allen’s two-run shot.
\n\u00a0
\nThe Aggies opened the inning with three straight singles to load the bases before Kennedy Powell<\/a> drove in the first run with an RBI single. Tallen Edwards<\/a> followed with a walk to make it 6-2. Perez then cleared the bases with a 259-foot blast to tie the game. Micaela Wark<\/a> drew a walk and was replaced by pinch runner Annsley Groce<\/a>, who moved to third on consecutive wild pitches. Kelsey Mathis<\/a> followed with an RBI single, and Allen capped the inning with a 248-foot two-run homer to give A&M a 9-6 lead.
\n\u00a0
\nAfter a scoreless third, the Aggies added a run in the fourth. Mathis led off with a double, advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on Allen’s RBI bunt single to extend the lead to 10-6.
\n\u00a0
\nThe Bulldogs rallied in the seventh, scoring three runs on four hits, but Peters induced a flyout to secure the 10-9 win.
