Springfield extended their losing streak to three on Friday, dropping their season record down to 5-9 in the process. They took a 9-6 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Holly Wildcats. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Longhorns of the 17-5 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in April of 2024.
Dane Rosengrants was cooking despite his team's loss, going 3-for-4 with two RBI, one run, and one double. Grady Mundell was another key player, going 2-for-3 with one double and one RBI.
As for Holly, the victory was the 11th in a row for them, bringing their record up to 12-6. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.9 runs over those games.
On Holly's side, Devin Eaton was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run over five innings pitched. Eaton was also big at the plate, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases and two runs. He is becoming a predictor of Holly's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 5-6 when he doesn't).
