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.
