  • Liberty’s Rachel Roupe hit a grand slam in the second inning to give the Flames a 6-0 lead, putting the Aggies on the brink of defeat.
  • Back-to-back home runs by Mya Perez and Mac Barbara in the fourth inning sparked a rally, giving Texas A&M its first lead of the game.
  • The Aggies extended their lead with a three-run fifth inning, marking 10 unanswered runs, and held off Liberty’s late efforts to secure the win.
