In game two, the Rams scored an unearned run in the first only to see the Falcons tie the game with a home run from Kristi Tosi in the second.

Texas Wesleyan scored again in the fourth courtesy of Marie Stone’s 13th homer of the year, but UTPB took a 3-2 lead with RBI singles from Holly Hicks and Nikki Baez in the fifth.

In the bottom of the frame, the Rams put the game away with a pair of two run homers including freshman Jazmine Boss’ first collegiate home run and a shot off the bat of Ariel Raley.
