Game One | How it Happened: A four-run by the Rangers' offense backed Rodeheaver who twirled her second start against the Eagles.

Rodeheaver held the Eagles to three hits as she finished the weekend earning both the Rangers' victories. The righty allowed no earned runs in her 14 innings, surrendered nine hits and lowered her ERA to 2.86. 

The Rangers scored all of their runs in a third inning propelled by the top of the lineup. Laura Scheffel singled through the left side to plate Carly Gray and Kynra Nelson. Regis would plate two additional runs on groundouts from Shayelyn Allen and Armitage to take the 4-0 lead.

The Eagles scored their lone run in the bottom of the sixth inning on a miscue by Madison Flores that extended the inning.

Game Two | How it Happened: Armitage pitched six innings and hit a home run, but it was not enough for the Rangers to earn a series victory over the Eagles.

Armitage allowed three unearned runs as the Rangers' defense committed three errors, which turned out to be the difference in the one-run loss. 

Case misplayed a ball in the second inning that allowed Chadron to take a 1-0 lead. Later in the third inning Armitage's throw to first base was off target allowing two runs to score.

Regis battled back as Carly Beard drove in Nelson on a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning. Armitage pulled the Rangers back within a run with her second homer of the season coming in the seventh. 

Chadron starter Tia Kohl would retire Logan Taylor and strike out Maggie Washer to close out the game.
