TOOWOOMBA Rangers tightened their grip on second spot in the Pacific League and on retaining the Luchterhand Shield with a comfortable 9-3 win over All Stars in Brisbane.
Rangers got out to a 5-0 lead after the second inning to take control and were never headed as pitcher Sam McNeice threw seven strong innings.
"It was probably our best hitting today from one to nine," Rangers coach Darryl Luchterhand said.
"We were always in control. Sam threw seven innings which was exceptional and Shaun Clarke threw two."
The win is Toowoomba's fourth of the season and has Rangers second only to Ipswich Musketeers.
It also gives Rangers a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven games Luchterhand Shield this season.
"We're 2-0 up. It's a good start," Luchterhand said. "Two more wins and we retain the shield, but we're more looking forward to Musketeers."
Luchterhand was impressed with the Rangers debuts of Canadians Daylan Laramee and Shawn McLachlan.
"Dylan was exceptional behind the dish and he hit really well," he said.
