Peoria extended their losing streak (dating back to last season) to 23 on Wednesday, dropping their season record down to 0-11 in the process. They lost 16-2 to the Danville Vikings. If the Lions were looking for revenge after losing 20-0 to the Vikings when the teams met back in April of 2024, then they'll just have to keep looking.
Peoria saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Stlyz Drummond, who went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases and one run. Antarion Dortch also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
Danville's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-12. Their hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.
On Danville's side, Brody Boyd made a splash no matter where he played. He struck out seven batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off three hits (and not a single walk). That's the most strikeouts Boyd has posted since back in April of 2024. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with three stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jake Garrison, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with five stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI. Those five stolen bases gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Ace Sumila, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one triple, two RBI, and one run.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Danville beat Peoria by a score of 16-2 later that day.
