The Texans scored first with two runs in the second inning and one run in the third inning. It was a close game for four innings and at the start of the sixth inning, the score was tied, Texans 3, Hawks 3. The Hawks played tough defense in the sixth inning and the Texans were unable to score. The Hawks rallied with four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning, after a few critical errors made by the Texans.
In the top of the seventh inning, the Texans had rallied, but they were only able to score two runs. The Texans fell short and the Hawks held on and won the UIL 4A D2 regional semifinal game with the final score of Texans 5, Hawks 7.
