The Aggies cut their deficit in half during the second after a home run from short stop Kristen Cuyos sent the runner Celena Massey home.
One inning later, Junior April Ryan tied the game with a two run home run.
Fox and the Aggie defense kept the Rebels off the board in the top of the fourth. Then, A&M extended its lead with two more runs in the bottom, after a double off the wall from freshman Tori Vidales sent Clopton and Cuyos home.
Once a new Rebels pitcher emerged in the fifth inning, the scoring came to a standstill.
A close call shook up the Aggies in the sixth, when a double by the Rebels short stop and a fly ball to the center put a runner on in scoring position.
With two outs in the sixth and a runner on at first, freshman Vidales stepped up and hit her 18th home run of the season giving the Aggies an 8-4 lead.
The Rebels attempted to battle back in the seventh after a solo homer started the inning, but they were stopped in their tracks when no more runs were scored. Fox ended the final game with a strike out.
The Texas A&M softball team ended the regular season with a 38-17 record, 12-12 in the SEC.
