Springfield extended their losing streak (dating back to last season) to 32 on Tuesday, dropping them down to 0-15. They came up short against the Thurston Colts, falling 19-1. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Millers of the 16-1 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in May of 2025.
Thurston's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-21. Their hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.
For Thurston's part, they got a massive performance out of Daphnie Heckel, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, four runs, and three RBI. That's the most runs Heckel has posted since back in June of 2025. Another player making a difference was Payton Tovey, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with three runs, one triple, and one stolen base.
While Springfield 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 3:00 p.m. on Friday.
