Ariel Raley led the Rams at the plate going 2-for-3 in the contest.
In game two, the Rams loaded the bases with one out in the second, but came away with only one run. Texas Woman’s answered with two in the bottom of the inning and added two more in the fifth and sixth innings as well.
After the second inning threat, Allie Parker (3-14) allowed just one base runner on her way to picking up the win with a complete game effort. Ashley Tarrant (2-3) suffered the loss after allowing six runs, five earned on ten hits while striking out five in 5.2 innings pitched.
