Down to their last out in the bottom of the ninth, the Aggies had a runner reach base on a walk and then scored on a double down the left field line to send the game to extra innings. Neither team was able to manage a run in the 10^th, but the Panther bats mounted a two-out rally of their own in the 11^th.
 
Carr singled to center field and was replaced on the base paths by pinch runner Cameron Lee. Klingler singled through the left side as Lee moved to third base to put runners on the corners before Klingler stole another base. With two runners in scoring position, Stuart's opposite shot hooked down the right field line and allowed both runners to score standing up.
