Bailey Wilkinson signs to play softball at Lincoln College

[September 25, 2018] 

Lincoln College Softball Coach Boyd Nowicki is pleased to announce the signing of his first class of 2019 recruit, Bailey Wilkinson from Palmer, Illinois. On Thursday afternoon the Morrisonville High School senior signaled her intention to attend LC as she inked her award letter to become a Lynx.

Wilkinson is a pitcher and also plays first base. Coach Nowicki figures for her to see time at both positions for the Lady Lynx next season. At MHS, Wilkinson was named second-team All-Conference her freshmen and sophomore year. Last spring she received first-team All-Conference recognition after recording 13 Wins, with 217 Strikeouts in 136.1 innings pitched. In addition to an impressive 2.7 earned run average on the mound, Wilkinson hit for a .367 batting average with seven homeruns.

Wilkinson has also been a standout in the classroom as she has made the Morrisonville High School Academic Honor Roll all three years at MHS.

Coach Nowicki is glad to have Wilkinson on board.

“Bailey's play alone would want any coach having her on their team, but I am most impressed by how she carries herself. She’s fun-loving, has a fantastic work ethic and a positive, supportive way of interacting with her teammates,” said Coach Nowicki.

“I look forward to seeing Bailey mature and become a leader for our program on and off the field in the future,” he added.
