 Lincoln was shut out in the first game. The Devils were able to push
across six runs in the first four frames, and that was more than
enough to take down Lincoln College 6-0.The Lynx produced only
five hits. Three of those hits were from freshman outfielder Manny
Acevedo (Orlando, Fla.).
Miles Quintal (O'Fallon) earned his second loss on the season
after tossing three innings and giving up five runs, four of those
earned.
In the second game, Lincoln College's Luke Giddens (Cincinnati,
Ohio) was handed the ball and earned a no-decision while throwing
four quality innings. Steven Sotiropoulos (Belleville) relieved
Giddens and received the win in his three innings of work.
The offense for the Lynx exploded for eight runs on 13 hits and
won 8-3. All eight runs were pushed across in the top half of the
sixth inning. Xavier Gomez (Willemstad, Curacao) led all hitters
with three singles. Kenny May (Belleville), Acevedo and Quintal
recorded two hits each.

Assistant coach Isaac Cox said: "We did not show the best
discipline at the plate today. We found ourselves getting behind in
the count and forcing ourselves to take a defensive
approach. Fortunately, we came away with one win today against a
pretty good ballclub. Learning the pitch sequences at this level
with help us out eventually, but we cannot rely on scoring only in
one inning. Our pitchers are giving us a chance to win, we just need
to find a way to string together multiple-hit innings."
Lincoln College (3-6) will travel to Mattoon next week
on Thursday to take on Lakeland Community College.
