[March 23, 2010]  The Lincoln College Lynx used a late rally, scoring seven runs in the top of the ninth, to come from behind and beat the Loggers of Lincoln Land 13-9.

Jason Pinkerton and Zac Carpenter led the offensive attack for the Lynx, each driving in three runners and going 3-5 and 2-4, respectively.

Tyler Wallin and Colan Eigenbrod also collected multiple hits for the Lynx.

InsuranceXavier Gomez continued his stellar play, going 2-5 with a walk, two runs scored and two stolen bases, racking up his stolen base total to 13 on the season. Gomez was just as solid with the leather, fielding a line drive up the middle off the glove of pitcher Adam Becht and a full extension dive in the hole at short that would be worthy of ESPN's Top 10 Plays.

Becht (1-2) picked up his first victory of the season, working 7 2/3 innings in relief and giving up four runs while striking out four.
