Rex Sweep Undergets Prospect League Doubleheader at Danville

Danville Takes Doubleheader

Terre Haute fell to Danville in a pair of Prospect League games on Sunday night, suffering an 8‑3 loss in the opener and a lopsided 12‑2 defeat in the second game. The home team built an early lead in the first inning of each contest before expanding the advantage with several runs in the middle frames. Danville’s offensive surge, particularly a four‑run burst in the fourth inning of game one, proved too much for the Rex to overcome.

Individual Performances

Nazhir Bergen provided the only offensive spark for Terre Haute in the first game with a solo home run in the second inning. Deakin Brinkley added a double in the sixth, and Dallas Coleman drove in a run with a sacrifice fly. Game two saw Wally Diaz and Gabe Wright each launch a home run, both coming in the bottom of the first inning to set the tone for Danville’s blowout.

Standings After Setback

Despite dropping their last two meetings with the Dans, the Rex remain in control of the Eastern Conference’s Central Division. Terre Haute holds a 11‑7 second‑half record and a 21‑22 overall mark, while Danville sits just behind at 10‑8 in the second half. The narrow gap suggests that a few well‑timed wins could flip the conference race in either direction as the season progresses.

Looking to Next Game

The Rex will look to reverse the momentum when they travel to face the Jackson Rockabillys on Tuesday at 8 p.m. This upcoming contest offers a chance to regroup after a rough doubleheader and reassert themselves in the division. Fans can expect a focused effort from a team that still has the advantage on the standings despite recent setbacks.
