Drifters win, split series on the road; Pickles next
The Springfield Drifters had a two-series road trip in Washington last week. The Drifters went 2-1 against Wenatchee; Steyr Brinkley gave up two hits in 5 IP in Game One, then pitcher Rylan Haider had 7 Ks in Game Three. The Drifters were scheduled to play a three-game series at Port Angeles, but had game one canceled due to rain. Springfield then split the two-game series, moving to 6-2 overall on the season. The Drifters have seven games in eight days this week. Springfield finishes a home series against Wenatchee on Thursday before heading to Portland for a series against the Pickles Saturday-Monday. The series against Wenatchee is the Irish Fishing Club series, so fans with IFC gear receive free admission.
