The YellowJackets (14-18, 12-12 American Southwest Conference) will finish the regular season at home against rival East Texas Baptist Friday and Saturday. LeTourneau fell to 8-10 on the road, while the Comets improved to 10-5 at home.
 
UT Dallas (21-10, 17-7) scored three runs in the first inning to jump on top. LETU tied things up in the third on David Pugh's RBI single to left and Jaggar Vaughn's two-run single to left center. The Comets answered with two runs in the bottom half of the inning to reclaim the lead, 5-3. They added a run in the eighth to give themselves a three-run cushion.
 
Cody Stanley crushed a solo homer to left on a 2-1 count with one out in the top of the ninth to bring the Jackets within two runs. After UTD closer Ben Soule, who picked up his second save, got the second out of the inning, Kameron Lindsey singled down the right field line to extend his season-long hitting streak to 10 games.
