[OCT.
21, 2002]
Lincoln
failed to score in two five-inning games at Galen Shirley Memorial
Field on Sunday afternoon as Prairie Central won 4-0 and 1-0.
|
Lincoln’s best scoring chance came in
the first inning of the second game. Jason Williams and Ryne Komnick
opened the inning with singles, and Matt Gleason reached on an error
to load the bases; however, the next three batters were retired
without a run being scored.
Prairie Central scored its only run of
the game on a leadoff triple and an infield out. The run came off
Matt Gleason, who pitched the first two innings, giving up just the
one hit and one run. He had a pair of strikeouts and a walk. Paul
Phillips pitched two innings, giving up two hits while striking out
two

Komnick had two of the four Lincoln
hits in the second game, with Williams and Gleason collecting the
others. In the first game Lincoln was able to manage just two hits,
one each by Steve Shanle and Phillips.
Komnick pitched the first three innings
and gave up three hits and no runs. He had five strikeouts and no
walks. Shanle was the losing pitcher, with two innings, six hits,
four runs (three earned), a walk and three strikeouts.
Lincoln
completes its wood bat season with a record of 6-8.

LC men’s soccer team
closes season
[OCT. 21, 2002]
SPRINGFIELD
— The Lincoln College men’s soccer season came to a close with a 1-0
loss to Springfield College here Saturday afternoon. The Lynx
finished the season with a record of 7-10-1.
|
SCI scored the only goal of the game
about eight minutes into the first half. Neither team was able to
get another ball in the net. Fernando Delgado registered seven saves
for the Lynx. SCI outshot the Lynx 12-10.
"We had some
great chances, but we didn't get the ball in the net," said coach
Mark Howard. "We actually played pretty well, especially in
the second half; we just weren’t able to score."

‘A
very good day’
for
LC volleyball
[OCT. 21, 2002]
Lincoln
College won a pair of volleyball matches in Lincoln Saturday,
defeating Springfield College 30-22, 30-26 and then stopping Sauk
Valley 30-26, 32-30.
|
"It was a very good day for us," said
Coach Mark Tippett. "We passed the ball consistently all day, and we
also served well. When we do those two things, we are capable of
playing with anyone. This should be a big lift for us, as we will
play Springfield College in the opening round of the regional. We
have now won two of the five matches we have played with SCI. We
appear to be putting it all together at the right time of the year.
We just have one week left before tourney play begins."
|
Beth Guy had 50 set assists to go along
with nine points and three aces for the Lynx. Jessica Livezey
contributed nine points, nine kills and four blocks, while Janine
Buettner had six points, 15 kills and four digs. Lincoln High School
graduate Angela Maestas had five digs for the Lynx.
Lincoln
College will take a 13-23 record into a tri-match at Lewis and Clark
Monday and will play at John Wood on Wednesday. The final home meet
of the season will be against Carl Sandburg on Thursday at 6 p.m.
Sophomores will be honored prior to the Thursday night game.

Harvest mutterings
By Jeff Mayfield
[OCT. 21, 2002]
My player and team of the
week is an easy choice this week. It’s an automatic. It’s a
no-brainer. It’s Harvest of Talents coordinator Pat Snyder and her
team fighting world hunger! This team won’t win any sports trophies,
but look for them to someday have crowns with plenty of jewels in
them, if you know what I mean. |
I am so glad that there are people like
Miss Pat in this world. Because there are too many people like me. I
see the devastating effects of hunger everywhere I travel, and I
am concerned about them. BUT, not enough to organize a committee
that works all year for one little Saturday in October. If you could
talk to Pat, she would tell you these amazing stats about hunger:
1. One-seventh of the world’s
population suffers from hunger or malnutrition.
2. Every 3.5 seconds somebody on
earth will die from hunger.
3. One out of 10 children around
the world will die of hunger before their 5th birthday.
4. Every one of these children
and their parents are also hungry for respect!
5. Every one of these people is
hungry for answers!
6. Every one of these people is
hungry for hope!
You may say that we’ve got enough
problems, and there’s nothing you can do to help. Wrong again! Go on
out to the Family Center at 204 N. McLean this Saturday, Oct. 26,
from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. The cinnamon rolls are scrumptious. The chili,
smoked and roasted beef and pork sandwiches will hit the spot. The
crafts and other handmade items will solve many of your gift-giving
problems. The Harvest 5K walk-run will keep you healthy and give you
another T-shirt for your wardrobe. The chips and potatoes are coming
all the way from South Dakota, and they are delicious. The auction
is by far one of the best, most well-run and certainly the funnest
one you will attend all year!
NO… they won’t win any major awards
this week, but Harvest of Talents WILL be the best game in
town this weekend. I guarantee IT! AND I’ve tried to NEVER let you
loyal LDN readers down! This isn’t even my church! In fact, this
event is so great, I would’ve felt comfortable going to this thing
even in the days when I wasn’t even going to church. You don’t have
to be a "church" person to realize that people are starving in this
country and all over the world. And when there’s a chance that you
could help a group in Lincoln, Ill., impact the world, that’s an
opportunity that you just can’t pass up.
In fact, Pat and her team have already
collected $800,000 for this effort in the 18 years that they have
held this event. That’s incredible! I hope that you will honor this
great Lincoln player of the week and her team by going on out
Saturday and supporting this most worthwhile cause. Nothing else I
can say or do would be nearly as important as this!
Keep up the good work, Pat! We’re
pullin’ for you!

World
Series
I think the San Francisco Giants are on
a roll and that they will win the series in six games or less. BUT,
I would love to be wrong on this one! AND you need to understand
that as a boy, I spent some of my finest moments in the bleachers of
old Candlestick Park. But that was a different time, and that was a
different team — not just because they beat the Cardinals.
I’ve just never been much of a Barry
Bonds fan. It’s like he’s carrying a chip, and the rest of us are
not good enough to be on the same planet with him. I’m sorry, Barry,
but I don’t accept that… from you or ANYone! For crying out loud,
you’re getting paid to play a game! They have other personalities on
their team that are hard to like in Jeff Kent and Kenny Lofton, just
to name two.
[to top of second column in this
article] |
![](../images/ads/Tourism%20Bureau/tourism11.gif)
I would love to see the Angels sweep
them in four — especially for Adam Kennedy’s sake — but I don’t
think it’s gonna happen. I’m stickin’ with… Giants in six!
Do the
Illini need a week off?
Some say yes, I say NO! They’re just
NOW starting to figure things out… SO how about another game right
now?! On the other hand I guess another week of healing and learning
wouldn’t kill them. On deck: the IU Hoosiers, who just shocked the
Badgers of Wisconsin! From my vantage point the Illini better jump
on this one because I don’t see a lot of winable games out there the
rest of the way!
Cook
breaks his nose
Lincoln’s Brian Cook put his face right
in the middle of a bunch of big bodies on Wednesday and came away
with a broken nose. The injury did require surgery and Brian wanted
to go back to practice on Thursday, but Illini trainer Rod Cardinal
said NO. Cook was fitted for a mask and fully intended to be back on
the practice floor by last Friday, but I had no report when this
story went to post!
King
flying high
Lincoln’s Andy King was still flying
high after his first few days of practice. We’re all hoping that
this will be a season-long run for Andy, but it all depends on
injuries and how fast everyone heals up. We’ll bring you a lot more
on Andy’s story when we get it.
Volleyball teams all going in different directions
Lincoln College had LCC’s number for
most of the first game of their last match, but the Angels finally
caught them at 26 and then never faltered again. I STILL think that
LC has really improved under Mark Tippett! Kevin Crawford’s Angels
are young, and it will be interesting to see how they fare in this
year’s playoffs. AND, it will be sad not to see Breanne Prunty on
the floor after this season. She reminds me of everything that is
good about women’s volleyball!
Lincoln High School has certainly
played a brutal schedule. Hopefully when the IHSA playoffs roll
around that will bode well for them. Unless the IHSA rules that
Aaron Monts’ infractions were so hideous that ALL teams in central
Illinois should be ineligible for ANY postseason play! Sorry, I’m
still a little bamboozled by whatever in the heck the IHSA is trying
to do. Guess I’m not smart enough to figure them out. Wonder IF I
had a boatload of money, if I could get more understanding out of
them. Guess we’ll never know!
"FANdamonium"
This week’s guests include:
• Jan Bowers and her LCHS
Lady Railer golfers.
• Jason Fitzpatrick of the
LCHS Railer boys golf team.
• Michelle Aeilts and her
LCHS cross country team.
Not confirmed yet is the LCHS soccer
team. We do hope to have the LCHS swimmers showcased on our Nov. 3
show!
Have a GREAT
week, EVERYone, and be a GOOD sport!!!
[Jeff
Mayfield]
