The Lincoln Railsplitters hosted Staunton on Wednesday afternoon and suffered a 2-1 loss in extra innings. 

 

Staunton scored a run off Lincoln’s Lucas Konczyk in the top of the second inning to take a 1-0 lead. 

 

In the bottom of the fourth inning, Tanner Strampp led things off with a single to left. Konczyk came up to bat and hit a single to left. Sean Raffa then hit a bunt single back to the pitcher to load the bases for Seth Tungate. Tungate walked and that allowed pinch runner Scotty Battin to score the tying run. Staunton escaped further damage by getting Trey Schilling to pop out in foul territory and Daulton Miller to ground out into a double play. Staunton escapes the inning with a 1-1 tie.

 

Dylan Singleton had a hit in the Railsplitters half of the seventh inning, but he was stranded at third when Keagan Ferguson struck out to end the inning.

 

In the top of the eighth inning, Frank Goss sent the first pitch over the left field fence and Staunton was back on top 2-1. Konczyk retired the next three batters in order.

 

In the bottom of the eighth inning, Staunton pitching recorded two quick outs and then issued two walks. Schilling was then retired on a fly out to center to end the game.

 

Staunton wins the game 2-1 over Lincoln.
