- With bases juiced in the opening frame, back-to-back walks issued to Makinzy Herzog and Morgan Smith helped the Aggies take an early 2-0 lead. In the next at-bat, Katie Dack crushed a grand slam to centerfield to extend A&M's cushion to six runs, forcing a pitching change by the Bulldogs.
- Georgia responded with a run in the bottom of the inning, before walking in a second run with bases loaded.
- A two-run bomb by Herzog with two outs in the second pushed the Aggies back ahead by six.
- The Bulldogs broke open scoring in the bottom of the third, tacking four runs on the board to cut into their deficit, trailing 8-6.
- After a single and stolen base, Haley Lee went charging home in the top of the fourth with an RBI single from Trinity Cannon.
- Georgia got two runs back in the fifth, but a play by Rylen Wiggins at second base left the bases loaded for the Bulldogs.
- A&M busted open the top of the sixth, tacking on six more runs to charge ahead 16-8, before a double play and ground out to Cannon at third in the bottom of the frame sealed the run-rule victory for the Aggies.
