Lincoln took a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the
first inning on three consecutive singles by Ashton Corley,
Austin Lucas and Drew Hayes. Hayes was credited with the RBIs.
The Rockets pounded the baseball in the second inning. The
inning started with a walk and that was followed by a double,
double, single, double, strikeout, single, single, single,
triple and yet another single. After the Rockets had scored nine
runs in the inning, the Railsplitters got out of the inning when
Karson Komnick gunned down a base runner trying to steal second
and Austin Lucas struck out the batter to end the misery.
In the bottom of the second inning Lincoln managed to get a run
back after Jadyn Gulley’s double, Kyle Koehler’s single and a
sacrifice bunt by Lucas.
Rochester added an RBI single in the top of the third inning to
keep Lincoln in a 10-3 deficit.
The Rockets found a way to score four runs in the top of the
fourth inning. Four singles and a double seemed enough to do the
trick.
Parker Graue’s RBI single in the bottom of the fourth inning
made the score 14-4 but after that Lincoln didn’t seem to have
any more gas left in the tank.
The game ended after five innings with Rochester out-hitting
Lincoln 18-9.

Railsplitters.
