On Tuesday, April 9, and Wednesday, April 10, the Angelo State University Rambelles softball team took on the Texas A&M International University Dustdevils. The Rambelles bested the Dustdevils in two of three games, with their first game, 9-1, being their fourth consecutive win, followed by a 0-2 loss and an 8-0 win.
Tuesday's first game kicked off with a quick first inning, with the Dustdevils taking the lead in their second inning with a home run. After an uneventful third inning, the Rambelles took a 2-1 lead in their fourth inning with a home run by senior catcher Keilei Garcia and sophomore infielder Tatiana Trotter on base. Shortly afterward, senior outfielder Ashton Dirner and junior infielder Erin Plunkett secured two more runs, followed by a third by junior outfielder Ashton McMillan for a 5-1 lead. The Rambelles reached a 7-1 lead with a home run by junior pitcher/infielder Averie Gunther and freshman outfielder/catcher Laynee Crooks on base. The Rambelles reached their 9-1 final score with a home run by freshman catcher Abby Brand and junior infielder Katie Burris, marking their first win of the week and their fourth consecutive win.
Tuesday's second game would prove to be a slow one as the Dustdevils took the victory 0-2 in their third inning, marking the Rambelles’ one and only loss of the week, ending their win streak.
Wednesday's game saw a slow first inning, with the Rambelles taking a 2-0 lead with a home run by junior third baseman Zoey De Baca and a run from third to home by junior outfielder Carter Smith. With Garcia on base, De Baca hit a home run, putting the Rambelles’ lead at 4-0. The Rambelles' fourth inning saw them double their runs, reaching the 8-0 final score. After two runs by McMillan and sophomore infielder Layni Tanner, freshman utility Laylonna Applin hit a home run with Gunther on base, marking the Rambelles’ second win of the week.
With their two wins and a single loss to the TAMIU Dustdevils, the Rambelles currently hold a 34-12 overall standing, ranking third in the Lone Star Conference. The Rambelles will soon face the Lubbock Christian University Lady Chaps in three away games on Saturday, April 13, and Sunday, April 14.
