Lincoln beats Richwoods 10-9 on
Gulley’s walk-off
[May 19, 2025]
Jadyn Gulley’s single to right with two outs in the bottom of
the seventh inning on Friday night gave Lincoln a 10-9 win over
Peoria Richwoods.
Gulley was 2-for-4 in the game with two RBIs and a run scored.
Austin Lucas, who led off the seventh inning with a base hit and
scored the winning run, was 2-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI.
Ashton Corley stayed hot with another home run, his seventh of the
season. Corley was 2-for-4 with two RBIs and two runs scored.
Tate Aue earned the win for Lincoln. Aue threw one pitch in the top
of the seventh inning, retiring the batter on a line out to second.
That might be the easiest win Aue will ever get in his career.
Richwoods scored twice in the top of the first inning off Lincoln
starter Carson Fuiten.
The Railsplitters scored eight runs on six hits in the bottom of the
first inning, with Corley doing damage right off the bat. Corley led
off the game with a double to left and scored when Austin Lucas hit
a single to center. Corley came up to bat later in the inning and
crushed a home run to right with Owen Comstock on base. In between
Corley’s at-bats, three runners scored on errors and Gulley hit an
RBI double and Griffin Shaw hit an RBI single.
Kyle Koehler’s RBI double in the third inning scored Brady Miller to
make the score 9-2.
The Knights chased Fuiten from the mound in the top of the fourth
inning and he was replaced by Parker Graue. When it was all said and
done in the inning, the Knights had plated seven runs to tie the
game. Three doubles, two singles and a triple led the Knights rally.
Lucky for Lincoln the three outs in the inning were by strikeouts
and the game remained 9-9 for the next two and a half innings.

an 0-2 pitch and sent it to right field for the game winner.
