In the fifth inning, the Rams tacked on five additional runs, with the highlight being a three-run homer to left center by Clark, extending their lead to 12-1.

Dax Dathe took the mound in game two and pitched a standout performance for Angelo State, surrending just one earned run, while striking out six batters in five innings.

The Rams will look to clinch the series tomorrow against the Buffs at 1 p.m.
