SAN ANGELO, Texas – The ninth-ranked Angelo State Rams rallied for five runs in the eighth inning to claim a 5-2 Lone Star Conference win over Incarnate Word on Friday in the first game of a four-game series.
Angelo State improves to 19-6 overall, 3-2 in LSC play and 11-1 at Foster Field with the win, while Incarnate Word falls to 7-9 on the season (2-3 LSC).
Ryan Greer,
Andrew LaCombe and

Quaid McKinnon started the inning with a single and was followed by a
Lee Neumann double. The Rams would tack on two more runs on a
Doug Snover infield single where
Matt Rechkemmer scored from third and
Tate Allison came in from second.
Travis Stavinoha (2-0) earned the win for ASU after coming into the game in the seventh inning for starter
Rick Reyna. Stavinoha struck out three and gave up one run in 2.0 innings of work, while Reyna gets the no decision after striking out seven in 6.0 innings.
