Randal Toribio came through big for UTPB in the bottom of the sixth, driving a two-out single into center to score Alex Fernandez from second for the go-ahead run.

UTPB led early in the opener as well, leading 3-0 after the first inning as Mike Fernandez drove in a pair and a William Bierlein double scored one, but Cameron scored seven runs in the final three innings, including a big five-run inning in the top of the sixth to take the 7-4 opener.
