A single to right center by Guillermo Loera in the third plated Jonathon Bigley for a 4-1 Sul Ross advantage.

The Yellow Jackets reeled in four runs over the fourth and fifth to take a 5-4 lead.

Sully bounced back in the sixth with a three-run attack as Bigley scored on a double by Loera.

A bases-loaded walk by Jace Jenkins brought Loera across before Monty Maley scored on another wild pitch for a 7-5 Lobo lead.

Howard Payne brought their game-winning five runs across in the top of the ninth and snuffed a Lobo comeback for the 10-7 victory.
