Rancho is a perfect 5-0 against Clark since April of 2024 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Wednesday. The Rams will be playing at home against the Chargers at 3:30 p.m. Having both just faced considerable losses, both teams are looking to turn things around.

DeMonbrun was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and one double.

Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Wednesday. Rancho hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 0.6 home runs per game.
