Railsplitters top Southeast 5-3

[April 02, 2025]  The Lincoln Railsplitters hosted Springfield Southeast on Tuesday afternoon and broke a 2-2 tie in the bottom of the sixth inning. An RBI single by Austin Lucas put the Railsplitters in front in that sixth inning and they went on to win by a final score of 5-3.  

 

Run-scoring singles by Karson Komnick and Griffin Shaw in the bottom of the first inning accounted for the Railsplitters first two runs of the game.

In the top of the fourth inning the Spartans tied the game on two RBI singles.

In the bottom of the sixth inning, Owen Comstock and Ashton Corley each drew walks and after two outs, Lucas hit the go-ahead run in with a single to right. Drew Hayes followed with an RBI single in the next at-bat and Parker Graue copied that. Graue’s single to right scored Lucas with the final Railsplitters run of the game.

An RBI single in the top of the seventh by the Spartans did little damage and Lincoln captured the 5-3 victory with Karson Komnick closing the game with a strikeout for the win.

Komnick picked up the win after working three innings in relief. He allowed six hits and one run. He struck out three batters.

Bryce Vlahovich started the game for Lincoln. He worked four innings, allowing five hits and two runs. He walked three and struck out seven batters.

Drew Hayes and Austin Lucas each recorded two hits for Lincoln.

Parker Graue, Karson Komnick and Griffin Shaw each had one hit.

After a 7-0 loss and a 10-8 loss on Saturday to Eureka and an 8-2 loss Monday night to Monticello, it was nice for the Railsplitters to get back on track with a win.

Lincoln’s record improves to 3-5 on the season.

Lincoln is scheduled to travel to Jacksonville today for a 4:30 p.m. start.
