So too did host Whittlesea, but both were forced to settle for a nil-all draw in National Premier Leagues One.
Reds goalkeeper Aaron Romein kept his team in the game.
Romein saved the Reds when the Rangers dominated play in the opening half.
His stellar form continued into the second half with a double save 57 minutes in, stopping dangerous Ranger Daniel Peluso's initial header before smothering the rebound.
The Reds controlled play better in the second half and started to find drive forward, particularly via fresh legs of sub Dom Swinton mid-way through the second half.
A hamstring injury to sub Jimmy Downey kept the Reds one man down for late minutes.
Ballarat returns home to Morshead Park next week, still chasing its first season win, and will host St Albans Saints in round three action on Saturday.
