Softball Recap: Springfield Find Success

Springfield let Piqua stack four runs on them in the first inning on Saturday but luckily Springfield prevailed anyway. The Wildcats had just enough and edged out the Indians 7-6. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Wildcats have posted since April 2nd.

Leeauna Rardon was a major factor no matter where she played. She pitched seven innings while giving up four earned (and two unearned) runs off eight hits. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 12 consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with two RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in May of 2025.

As for Piqua, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 11-9.

Springfield will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Indians: the pair will be back at it again later today.
