"We played some great baseball and were
just one or two plays from being undefeated on the trip," said
Lincoln coach Tony Thomas said. "We were in every game and had a
chance to win in each of them. We lost a tough one in the last game
Sunday, but we had chances to put more runs on the board and just
didn't get the key hit. We played all close games on the trip, and
that should help make us better as the season goes on."
The Lynx will be in action Wednesday,
when they travel to Lebanon to take on McKendree College at 1 p.m.
