The Rams got in the win column later in the week, however, when they played host to Okolona to start division play. Vardaman run-ruled the Chieftains 16-0 in three innings with Ethan Parker, Dylan Huffman and Alan Bejarano having multi-RBI days. Huffman was also the winning pitcher, throwing a no-hitter in the shortened game, striking out nine.
