by Lucas Konczyk.

loaded walks. Tanner Strampp then lifted a single to left
field that scored Andrew Graue and Dylan Singleton to make
the score 5-0.
The Railsplitters third inning started with singles by Sean
Raffa and Trey Schilling. Seth Tungate reached base on a hit
by pitch. Singleton’s grounder to short resulted in an error
that scored two runs. Keagan Ferguson followed with a
two-run double and the Railsplitters were cruising early
with a 9-0 lead.
Jacksonville Routt scored their only run of the game in the
fourth inning off Konczyk.
The Railsplitters plated two more runs in the bottom of the
