It may have taken eight innings to finish the job, but Springfield ultimately got the result they hoped for on Wednesday. They won by a run and slipped past the Lincoln Railsplitters 3-2. Winning may never get old, but the Senators sure are getting used to it with their fifth in a row.
Mia Volpert was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She didn't allow a single earned run while striking out 14 over eight innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up a single earned run in four consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with one run.
Volpert wasn't the only one making solid contact as two players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Erin Stoops, who went 1-for-4 with two RBI. That's the most RBI Stoops has posted since back in April.
