Brock Cothern spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three runs (all of which were unearned) on two hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances.
Springfield has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost five of their last six games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 9-12 record this season. A.J. Ellender's victory ended a three-game drought on the road and puts them at 6-13.
While Springfield had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
