The Rangers offense exploded early and often as they scored six runs in the first two innings, capped off by a homerun from sophomore Taylor Haddock. Haddock had two hits in this game.

The Rangers go into game two looking to get their first district sweep. Junior ace Dillion Brandt takes the bump for the Rangers. Brandt went seven innings, allowing five hits, no runs, and striking out ten batters. Then once he reached the pitch limit, senior Jaxx Rigelsky relieved him. The Rangers offense was held scoreless for the first time this season, only acquiring four total hits. The Rangers would go on to lose in extra innings.

He went four innings allowing one run on two hits and  five walks. He was relieved by Jaxx Rigelsky who pitched the remaining two innings allowing only one hit. The Rangers offense had quite the day as five batters had a multi hit game. Notability, junior Jake Fults had two hits, three walks, and two RBIs.
