A rally attempt by the Longhorns began in the bottom of the seventh with two walks and two hit by pitches. After the first putout, back-to-back walks brought the deficit down to three.

A Cougar error allowed another Gordon run to score before Shank flew out, which brought in another runner. On a full count, Noah Kostiha hit a fly ball to right field that was caught.
