Caiden Bietsch put up the most strikeouts he's had since back in April on Saturday. He struck out seven batters over 6.2 innings while giving up just one earned (and three unearned) runs off five hits (and only one walk). He also tossed a walk, which is notable because Springfield is undefeated when he allows at most one walk, but 9-13 otherwise.

Looking ahead, Bietsch and Springfield will stay at home for another game and welcome Glenwood at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Springfield will be headed into this one with a sizable disadvantage in the rankings (they're ranked 166 places lower in Illinois), but they're not letting that get them down. Will they be able to pull off an upset behind Bietsch? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more baseball content.
