SAN ANGELO, Texas (Concho Valley Homepage) — The Rambelles finish their homestand with a high note on Sunday, March 8.

Angelo State may have been the hottest team in the Lone Star Conference entering Sunday’s doubleheader versus Texas Woman’s. The outcomes of games one and two however, couldn’t have been more different.

Game one was a pitcher’s duel. Each starter pitched a complete game. The Pioneers’ Randi Crawford recorded five strikeouts and allowed just one hit. The Rambelles’ Ashleigh Dendas totaled three strikeouts and just three hits allowed, but one of those hits proved to be the difference.

In the top of the seventh inning, Hawwa Townsend of TWU hit a go-ahead solo home run to left field to give her team the lead the rest of the way. The Pioneers won game one 1-0, but game two was a different story.

After a back-and-forth start, Angelo State turned the tide of game two in the bottom of the fifth inning. With the game tied at 3, the Rambelles exploded for five runs in the frame, ignited by Zoey Sifuentes’ left field RBI double to put ASU ahead 4-3. Dendas added another RBI the very next pitch via single, and Bri Waters added another insurance run with an opposite field single to right, putting ASU ahead 6-3. Kamryn Loeffler kept the line moving with another RBI single, and the scoring concluded with a bases-loaded walk to put the Rambelles ahead 8-3.

That’s all the damage needed as Angelo State held on for an 8-3 win, securing itself the doubleheader split. The Rambelles improve to 11-1 in conference play and 22-5 overall.

Angelo State travels north for doubleheaders at Cameron and Oklahoma Christian next weekend, on March 13 and 15, respectively.
