Odessa, Texas – The Angelo State softball team claimed their first LSC series of the season, winning two of three from UT Permian Basin. The Falcons came back to win game one 4-3 before the Rambelle bats exploded for a 14-0 win over the Falcons in five innings.
Ashlyn Lerma got the Rambelles off to a hot start in game one, drawing a walk before stealing second and third base before scoring the game's first run on a wild pitch.
Keilei Garcia would draw a walk to set up
Paxton Scheurer, who homered for the sixth time this season to extend the Rambelles' lead to 3-0.
However, the Falcons would score two runs in the third and fifth inning to claim the 4-3 victory over the Rambelles.
Lerma finished game one 2-for-2 from the plate with a pair of walks and four stolen bases, while Scheurer was the only other Rambelle to record a hit, also going 2-for-2 with a two-run home run and a couple of walks.
A two-out rally for the Rambelles sparked the scoring in the first inning of game two. Walks by Scheurer and
Bailey Martinez put runners on, with both advancing on a wild pitch and later scoring on a single by
Ashton McMillan.

A pitch hit Martinez, and she would eventually score on a McMillan RBI single.
McMillan led off the fifth inning with a double, scoring on a single by
Victoria Mosqueda; Mosqueda would score later in the inning on a fielder's choice.
Katie Burris would wrap up the scoring with an RBI single to bring the score to 14-0.
