The Lynx lost the second game 2-1. Stephenson (2-2) took the loss
for LC. Rentmeister and Wright both contributed to the pitching
efforts in the second game. The pitching staff allowed only six hits
and did not walk anyone in the second game.
The Lady Lynx rallied on nine hits. Walch had a strong game,
going 3-3. Stephenson came up with a two-out double in the top of
the seventh inning but was unable to score.
"The girls played amazing today," said coach Crystal Wurth. "Our
pitchers were rotating in and out of both games, trying to mix
things up a bit, and did a fantastic job of keeping the Lewis and
Clark hitters out of it. We tried breaking up their momentum and
just throwing our game. Shelbi and Jana basically outsmarted their
hitters. Our defense was on and we showed up ready to play."
The Lynx now have an overall record of 16-20.
LC takes on Heartland Community College at 1 p.m. Sunday.
