Murray State answered with two in the third off with a two-run single by Tyler Smith, tying the game 3-3.
 
LSUE broke away with a four-run fourth inning after Chance Clark drove in a pair on a single to left field followed by an Aggie error on Jacob Richard's pop-fly that allowed a run to score.  Clark made it a 6-3 Bengals score later in the inning on a first-and-third double steal.
