The Mallards first grabbed the lead when Baker buried Matt Neal's centering pass at 6:09 of the first period.
Baker jammed in a power play goal from the doorstep to stretch the gap to 2-0 at 2:59 of the second period.
Mario Lamoureux extended the Mallard lead to 3-0 by converting Baker's cross-crease pass at 14:22 of the second.
Michael Clarke cappped off the victory by banking the puck into the Rapid City net off Rush defenseman Daniel Tetreault at 16:08 of the third period.
Mosher stopped 22 shots over just the first two periods while his teammates built a commanding lead at other end.
The series shifts back to Rapid City for game six next Tuesday, April 28. If the series goes to a seventh game, the Rush would host the deciding contest next Wednesday, April 29.
