Senators knock Railsplitters out of
regionals 2-1
[May 29, 2026]
The Springfield Senators ended the Railsplitters season on
Thursday with a 2-1 win over Lincoln at Mike Curry Field in Class 3A
regional baseball action.
The two teams were scoreless through five innings.
The Senators broke through with two runs in the top of the sixth
inning. A walk, a single and two sacrifice bunts allowed the
Senators to plate those two runs off Lincoln starter Carson Fuiten.
The Railsplitters scored their lone run in the bottom of the sixth
inning with Cooper Koehler starting off the inning with a single.
Koehler moved to second on a wild pitch. After a walk to Karson
Komnick, Austin Lucas singled to load the bases. Grady Rutledge hit
a fielder’s choice to short to allow Koehler to score. Lincoln would
leave runners on second and third when the inning ended.
Chase March and Tate Aue reached base on walks in the bottom of the
seventh inning for the Railsplitters but they were left stranded
when Jacob Scheffler came in to pitch and he quickly struck out
Koehler and Kane Komnick to end the game.
Lincoln had three hits versus the Senators.
