The Railers fell apart in two games this week, blowing a five
run lead against Springfield Southeast early in the week and
getting hammered by Normal Community on Friday.
The Railers didn't hit well in either outing.
The game against Normal, was part of a charity tournament at the
Corn Crib in Normal.
The only charity for the Railers was that it ended quickly.
Normal Community fired-off seven runs in the first inning, and
picked up a few more in the second.
Lincoln rallied, though, scoring four of their own in the top of
the third inning.
Senior Ryan Thomas belted a double that scored two of the runs.
But Normal Community responded. The Ironmen exploded for six
runs in their half of the inning, including an inside the park
home run that came from a misplayed ball to center field.
Normal won 14-4 in just five innings.
Lincoln's weekend games were also rained out.
