Aggies were unable to put together a run game, however, amazing effort in the top of the 4^th, by Jaylinn Reyes reached first on a walk and, Camryn Pryor reached first on a fielder's choice.
 
Game two the Aggies came out strong with a single grounder to second by Reyes. Next at bat was Kayli Groves, who hit a dinger and reached first on the fielder's choice advancing Reyes to second. However, the Stars stopped the Aggies momentum with a forced out and a quick double play.  The bottom of the 1^st, the Aggies held the Stars to a scoreless start.
 
The top of the 2^nd inning, Brissa Rivera (5^th year Senior, infielder) single to short led the Aggies to a possible run.
