Lincoln started the scoring in the first inning when Eric Broughton
reached first on an error by the shortstop and advanced to second
base on John Foley's sacrifice bunt. Drew Olson then hit his second
home run of the year deep over the left field fence for a 2-0 lead
that Lincoln never lost.
Lincoln scored again in the fourth inning with four runs, the
highlight being Paul Phillips' two-run double to left field. In the
sixth inning, Cory Pelc hit his first home run of the year with a
solo shot to right field. Lincoln closed out the scoring with two
runs in the seventh inning when Drew Olson singled to left and took
third when the left fielder let the ball get by him. Two outs later,
Chase Lowery singled to center field, scoring Olson. Lowery went to
second on a passed ball and scored when Paul Phillips singled to
left.
