Greenwood extended their losing streak (dating back to last season) to 24 on Tuesday, dropping their season record down to 0-8 in the process. They came up short against the Spencer Rockets, falling 10-0. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Indians of the 11-0 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in April of 2024.
As for Spencer, their victory ended a three-game drought at home and bumped them up to 5-4. They might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won three contests by six runs or more this season.
For Spencer's part, Tyler Peterson was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit over six innings pitched. Peterson is becoming a predictor of Spencer's success: when he allows at most three hits the team is undefeated (and 2-4 when he doesn't). Peterson was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with three stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI. Those three stolen bases gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Carter Luepke, who went 1-for-3 with three RBI, one run, and one double. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in May of 2024. Reed Knecht also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen bases of the season.
While Greenwood had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday.
