Colbie Glenn, catcher for the Lincoln Heat 10U, snags an inside pitch from Trey Schilling on Wednesday night in Washington.

Lincoln Heat 10U picks up a big win against Dunlap 7-1, falls to Washington 7-5
 

[May 07, 2016]  In Washington on Wednesday, it was a barn burner as Lincoln led 4-3 going into the bottom of the fourth of the six inning game.

At the plate, Lincoln was led once again by Wyatt Mammen with two hits, as Colbie Glenn, Brenden Wurth, Camden Nelson and Ryan O’Donoghue each collected a hit in the game.

Scoring runs for the Heat were Michael Lucas, Glenn, Wurth, Griffen Shaw and Trey Schilling.

But in the bottom of the fourth, Washington came out swinging and collected four hits and scored four runs that secured the win.
On the mound for Lincoln, Trey Schilling pitched four innings, earning six strikeouts, two walks, and allowed seven hits in the loss. Darren Stevens came to the mound in the fifth in relief and struck out two to get Lincoln back to the plate for a chance to tie the game in the top of the six.

Lincoln was able to draw three walks in the inning and had the tying run at second but came up a little short and eventually lost to a great team 7-5.

With the adrenaline still pumping from Wednesday night, Lincoln then traveled to Dunlap Thursday to take on Dunlap, the same team that beat Washington 7-1 last week.

So with their hands tied with only nine roster players for the game, the Lincoln Heat 10U gave the ball to Wyatt Mammen, sat back and watched in awe as he struck out twelve, walked one and had a perfect game going into the fourth inning, when he gave up the first hit to Dunlap.

At the plate, Lincoln was led by both Brenden Wurth and Luke Jones, each collecting three hits, including a double for both hitters, that helped the Lincoln Heat 10U secure the win, ironically enough, 7-1.
Ethan Turner, Michael Lucas, Colbie Glenn, Mammen, Darren Stevens and Trey Schilling each collected a hit for the Heat.

As Mammen’s pitch count reached his limit in the fourth, Darren Stevens once again came in to relieve and collected his second save of the season by striking out three and allowing one walk.

Dunlap beats Washington 7-1, Lincoln loses to Washington 7-5, and Lincoln beats Dunlap 7-1.

That’s baseball.

The Lincoln Heat 10U, now 6-2 on the season, travels to Mt. Zion on Saturday for a double-header starting at 11:00 a.m.
