Wooden
bat team wins doubleheader with Rochester
[OCT.
18, 2000] Lincoln’s
wooden bat baseball team moved its record to an impressive 9-1 over the weekend
in East Peoria, defeating Rochester 4-3 and 4-1. Lincoln’s offense created
only four hits in game one and three hits in game two, but it scored when
necessary. Pitching was once again a critical factor in the victories. Justin
Dedman, Josh McDaniel and Jamison Sheley held Rochester to only two hits in the
opener; while Chris Phillips, Ryan Williams and Blake Schoonover allowed only
one hit apiece in the second game.

[Blake Schoonover’s pitching played a key role in Lincoln’s
second game against Rochester.]
In
game one, Lincoln’s first two runs came off of a wild pitch that scored Dedman
and a two-out RBI single by Andy Knopp that plated Williams. Lincoln runners
were held at bay until the last inning. Rochester tied the game in the fifth
inning and went ahead 3-2 in the sixth. Lincoln started the top of the seventh
inning with a base hit by Dedman, who was then caught stealing. Williams walked
and Sheley flied out to center for the second out. With the game on the line,
Phillips cracked an RBI double to left field to tie the game and went to third
on the unsuccessful attempt to cut down Williams at the plate. He then scored
himself on a passed ball. The one-run lead was enough for Sheley, who tallied
the save.
[Ryan Williams is one of three pitchers who helped limit
Rochester to only one run in the second game.]
Although
Lincoln committed three errors in the game, its defense turned two 5-4-3 double
plays, the first involving Knopp and Matt Boyer and the second, in the seventh
inning, involving Boyer and Schoonover. Base-running problems probably cost
Lincoln a couple more runs. Two times with fewer than two outs, runners at
second were doubled off, not tagging up in time after caught fly balls.
Nevertheless, the team pulled out its fourth one-run win in nine games.

In
the second game, Lincoln scratched out four runs, taking advantage of Rochester
miscues and timely hits. Williams, who reached base on a dropped third strike in
the second inning, scored first on an RBI single by Andrew Bartman. After
reaching base on an error in the fourth, Dedman was driven home on a two-out RBI
single by Williams. Lincoln’s final two runs came in the seventh. Knopp began
the inning on a long mishandled fly ball to center that he stretched into a
two-base error, eventually scoring on a wild pitch from third. Phillips singled
and was later driven home on an RBI single by Sheley.
[Justin Dedman patiently waits for the pitch.]
Lincoln
played errorless defense in the second game, and the pitchers stymied Rochester’s
offense. Phillips allowed no runs through the first three innings. While
yielding a run in the fourth, Williams left runners standing at second and third
when he ended the inning with two strikeouts. Schoonover then blanked Rochester
in the final two innings, striking out four.
Lincoln will play 12
p.m. doubleheaders against Quincy and Dwight this Saturday and Sunday at Lincoln
Christian College.
