SAN ANGELO, Texas – The 10th-ranked Angelo State baseball team dropped the first game of the series against Texas A&M – Kingsville on Friday, falling 10-4 at Foster Field at 1st Community Credit Union Stadium.

The Rams took the lead early as Aaron Walters put two runs on the board with a two-run blast to right center, scoring Austin Beck who singled to get on base.
 
After five scoreless innings, the Javelinas found some offense of their own, scoring five runs in the sixth inning to take the lead, capping off the inning with a two-run homer to left field.
