Much like the earlier game of the day, Barton jumped on the Wranglers in the first inning scoring two behind back-to-back RBI doubles by Vieyra and Gile. But the Cougars left the bases loaded and Odessa capitalized in the home half scoring three to surge back ahead.

In the second inning Vieyra delivered on a two-out double to tie the score. After holding the Wranglers scoreless in the bottom half of the inning, the Cougars scored six in the third keyed by an Alex King triple plating two. After a hit-by-pitch and walk in the home half of the inning, Odessa's Jacoby Middleton hit a three-run homer as the Wranglers would answer back scoring four.

Holding a 9-7 lead into the bottom of the sixth, Odessa cut the deficit to one then received a two-out single to tie the game followed by scoring the game winner on a fielding error.

For the weekend the Cougars batted .258 with four players hitting over .400. The Cougars used fourteen pitchers during the series combining for an 11.39 ERA in front of a defense that committed nine errors. Tunnell, who enters the '13 season as the Barton ace, was solid in his four innings of pitching in game one surrendering only four hits and getting four strikeouts.
