Lincoln
splits at Pontiac Saturday, sweeps Macomb Sunday
[June 18, 2007]
The Lincoln American Legion
varsity started its season off with a tough schedule, with five
games in four days. Four of those games were this weekend: at
Pontiac on Saturday, where they split a doubleheader, and two on
Father's Day, when they took two in front of a home crowd against
Macomb.

Soebbing. In the second game, Lincoln bounced back with eight runs
on 15 hits, backing Josh Gardner's complete-game pitching
performance. Lincoln was led by Jeremy Moore and Josh Baker. Each
