Denton, Texas – The Angelo State softball team split their first two road games this afternoon in Denton, claiming game one 10-0 in a six-inning run-rule win before dropping game two 5-4.

Paris Brienesse sparked a two-out rally in the second inning of game one, drawing a full-count walk before stealing second and advancing to third on a wild pitch.

Lauren De La Cruz would also walk and then steal second base, which allowed Brienesse to steal home for the game's first run.

Zoey De Baca blooped a single into center field to score De La Cruz to make it 2-0.

Erin Plunkett singled to lead off the third inning before scoring on an Averie Gunther double with two outs, pushing the Rambelles' lead to three.

Sacrifice flies by De Baca in the fourth and Ashton McMillan in the fifth pushed the scoreline to 5-0, which the Rambelles would double up on in the sixth inning.

De Baca would triple before Abby Brand would single in the inning's first run. Walks by Plunkett and Tatiana Trotter would load the bases for Gunther, who the pitch would hit to score the next run.

McMillan would finish the scoring with a bases-clearing triple to right center field to make it 10-0.

Cheyenne Floyd picked up her seventh win of the season, throwing five innings of one-hit ball, allowing one walk while striking out six. Raegan Sucher would throw the final shutout inning in relief.

The Pioneers kicked off the scoring in game two, scraping across a run in the bottom of the first.

The Rambelles would tie the game in the third inning on a De La Cruz solo home run, her first of the season.

De Baca's double and Brand's hit by a pitch in the fifth inning put runners on base for Plunkett, who singled down the left-field line to give the Rambelles the lead. The Rambelles would tack on a run later in the inning when Gunther drew a two-out, full-count walk with the bases loaded to make it 3-1.

The Pioneers scored four runs in the bottom of the fifth inning, batting around their lineup to take a 5-3 lead.

Laylonna Applin hit a solo home run in the top of the seventh to half the deficit, but the Rambelles could not find the tying run.

Amelia Hatthorn started the game in the circle, going four innings and allowing three hits and two walks while recording a strikeout. She gave way to Bri Waters, Floyd, and Matie Wolkow in relief, and Floyd was charged with the loss.

The Rambelles are 14-2 on the season and 5-1 in conference play. They take on No. 1 UT Tyler on Monday in East Texas, with that doubleheader scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.
