In the third inning, Torin Tucker walked, McKenzie Wilson singled and then Mylie Parker tripled to bring in both base runners and cut the lead in half, 4-2.
Parker later scored on a Reese Rogers grounder and it was 4-3 with only one out, but the Rangers recorded the next two outs to close the inning with a one-run advantage.
Smithson Valley added to its lead with two more runs in the fourth frame thanks to four straight singles and it was 6-3, while the Chargers were kept off the board in the final three innings.
