 "We had our opportunities but we
just couldn't get the first run across," said Lincoln coach Tony
Thomas. "If we could have pushed the first run across, I think
others would have followed, but we weren't able to get the big hit.
Our defense let us down a little also. We have been playing great
defense, but we made three errors. Nick pitched a great game and
deserved to win. We just didn't score."
