LC softball splits weekend doubleheaders  Send a link to a friend

[APRIL 4, 2005]  Lincoln College (5-13) split a pair of softball doubleheaders over the weekend against Shawnee and John Wood. The Lynx won the opener 6-2 against Shawnee on Sunday afternoon on the Lincoln diamond. Shawnee came back to win the nightcap 8-6. On Saturday the Lynx won a 1-0 game against John Wood at Quincy before losing the second game 4-2.

"Krystina Gomez had another great game against John Wood, giving up four hits and striking out nine while walking no one," said Lincoln coach John Andrews. "She also came up with the big base hit to drive in our only run in the fifth inning. We should have won the second game; however, John Wood scored three times in the fifth, all unearned runs.

"On Sunday, Krystina recorded 11 strikeouts and no walks while allowing four hits and a pair of runs. They scored two runs in the first inning and Krystina had smooth sailing the rest of the way. Once again our defense hurt in the second game as we gave Shawnee a win.

"I have a good feeling about our hitting; it is starting to come around. We had 27 hits in the two games on Sunday."

Ashley Shaw had three hits and four RBI to lead the way against Shawnee in the 6-2 win. Kelly Nader and Jen Clemings each had two hits as Lincoln College had 13 safeties in the contest. In the second game, Maleaha Hayward and Sarah Franklin each had three hits, with Franklin collecting two RBIs and Hayward scoring two runs. Shaw and Chonita Ziegler each had a pair of hits.

Against John Wood, Hayward had three hits in the second game while Shaw, Clemings and Beth Smith each had one hit. Shaw, Ziegler, Tiffany Tungate, Christie Frasco and Gomez had the Lynx hits in game one against John Wood.

In its next softball action, Lincoln College will host Lincoln Land College on Thursday at 3 p.m.
