SAN ANGELO, TX – The No. 7-ranked Angelo State softball team completed a perfect weekend on Sunday afternoon at the Mayer Softball Field, defeating UT Permian Basin 7-0 and 8-0.
Combined with a sweep of Sul Ross State, the Rambelles outscored their opposition 33-1 for the weekend and claimed three run-rule wins.

They would tack on two more in the third inning on a sacrifice fly by Lauren De La Cruz and an RBI single by Zoey De Baca.
The Rambelles' final two runs would come two innings later, with De Baca hitting a sacrifice fly and a double steal plating the final run.
