pitched four innings, allowing only three hits and two earned
runs. Cole Brownfield pitched out of a jam in the fifth inning to
keep Lincoln on top 8-6. Then Kyle Young got his second save in two
opportunities in the tournament, giving up only one hit and one
unearned run, while striking out three in two innings of relief
work.
The offensive star of the game was
Blair Bruns, who was 3-for-4, belting a three-run homer over the
right-field fence. Later in the game, Bruns connected for a triple
