STEPHENVILLE, TX – The Angelo State Rams claimed a dominant 12-1 game one win over the Texans to take the series momentum. The Rams, were scored their 12 runs on 13 hits, hit five doubles and were led by Jacob Finke's 2-4 three RBI performance at the plate.

There were five members of the ASU lineup with multiple hits: Josh Elvir, Nick Seginowich, Jacob Finke, Riley Peterson, and Parker Bramlett all collected two hits on the day. Riley Peterson was also good for two RBI on the day.
Shannon Broussard earned the start, but was replaced by Tyler Lesley in the second inning. Broussard faced five batters, struck out two, gave up two hits and no runs. Lesley made good use of his relief appearance, however, as the San Antonio native would stay in for the remaining six innings of play and give up only one run on three hits while striking out three. This appearance was Lesley's longest, matching his only other six inning outing he had against Eastern New Mexico on April 12th.
