Lincoln notches 20th win of the
season
[May 21, 2026]
The Lincoln Railsplitters picked up their 20th win of the
season on Wednesday afternoon in Auburn.
Lincoln beat the Trojans 10-1 as senior Carson Fuiten earned the
win.
Bryce Vlahovich and Chase March were the hitting stars of the game
for the Railsplitters.
Vlahovich was 3-for-3 with two RBIs and two runs scored. He walked
twice.
March was 3-for-4 with two RBIs and one run scored.
Auburn’s pitcher was struggling from the start, hitting two batters
and walking one in the first inning. An error behind him did not
help either. March got the first hit of the game, an RBI single in
the inning and Lincoln took a 2-0 lead.
Vlahovich singled to start the third inning and the run he scored
increased the lead to 3-0.
Both Vlahovich and March added RBI singles in the top of the fourth
inning. Tate Aue also drove in a run on a fielder’s choice to make
the score 6-0.
The Railsplitters plated one run in the top of the fifth inning
after Kane Komnick hit a single, Karson Komnick walked, Austin Lucas
singled and the younger Komnick flew home on a wild pitch.
Two walks and two hit batters in the sixth inning plated another run
for Lincoln. This time it was Aue scoring to make the score 8-0.
