[April 18, 2011]  CHAMPAIGN -- Parkland pitching outlasted Lincoln in both of the Lynx's 11-1 and 9-1 losses on Sunday.

In the first game, it was a matchup between two hard-throwing left-handers. Luke Giddens, a transfer from University of Cincinnati, was matched up against Parkland's Jon Carlson, a transfer from University of Kentucky. The pitchers’ duel was closely matched going into the fifth inning, but Carlson's command was too much for the Lynx offense as they produced only one run on two hits.

In the second game, it was much the same. Lynx starter Steve Sotiropoulos held the Cobras to only two runs in the first six innings. But as in the first game, the Lynx were unable to capitalize with runners in scoring position on several occurrences throughout game two.

Lincoln (15-15, 11-3 MWAC) will host 11th-ranked Parkland on Monday (today) at 1 p.m.
