The Rams (0-1) fell 7-0 to Texas A&M-Texarkana (5-0) in the home opener. The Eagles capitalized early, scoring twice in the first inning on a sacrifice fly and an unearned run. A solo home run in the fourth extended their lead before they tacked on two more runs.

Bird pitched six innings, allowing seven runs (five earned) on 12 hits with one strikeout. Morgan Benge (2-0) earned the win for the Eagles, throwing six scoreless innings with two strikeouts.

In the second game, Texas Wesleyan (0-2) suffered a 4-0 loss to Louisiana Christian University (5-1).

Another run in the sixth sealed the victory.

Kylie Barnes (0-1) went the distance for the Rams, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits with six strikeouts. However, the Texas Wesleyan offense was stifled, managing just two hits off Louisiana Christian's Morgan Louviere (2-0), who tossed a complete-game shutout with three strikeouts.
