[March 29, 2011]  GODFREY -- Lincoln College was able to hold on in a pair of one-run games Sunday to take down Lewis and Clark Community College 3-2 and 9-8.

Freshman Ricky Cody (St. Louis, Mo.) started the first game. Cody, a hard-throwing righty, struck out nine with only two hits in his 5 1/3 innings of work. He was awarded the win after the Lynx were able to push across three runs. Kenny May (Belleville) received the save, working 1 2/3 innings and striking out three.

Offensive leaders were May, 2-4, 2 SB; Brett Freund (Festus, Mo.), 1-2, RBI; and Andy Mosier (Lake Orion, Mich.), 1-3, RBI.

In the second game, Delevan native Jeff Bolen was handed the game ball. He was able to maneuver around Lewis and Clark's offense to hold them to three runs on four hits in his 4 1/3 innings of work. With the game tied, May was again turned on in game two. He pitched 3 1/3 innings, earning the win while striking out five. In the final frame, he was able to strike out the final two hitters while both the tying and go-ahead runs were in scoring position.

Manny Acevedo (Orlando, Fla.) was able to swipe three bags and was 2-6 with a double. Nick Burrus (Cincinnati, Ohio) was 3-3 with three runs batted in to lead the offensive attack. May was also a big contributor on the offensive attack with two runs batted in and a stolen base.

The Lynx (6-9, 3-1 MWAC) will travel to Springfield to take on Benedictine University today (Tuesday) at 1 p.m.
