The Lincoln College Baseball team took both ends of a doubleheader over crosstown rival Lincoln Christian University on Sunday.

The Lynx held off a late rally by the Red Lions to win the first game 5-4 then took the second game 7-5.

Lincoln’s Ty Mattix (North White, IN) earned the win in game one. Mattix went four innings giving up one earned run on five hits while striking out four. Fellow junior Coby Isenbarger (New Castle, IN) threw three innings in relief to seal the win.

Thornton Fractional High School grad Andrew Bernas took the hill for the Lynx in game two and threw six strong innings for the win. Bernas gave up three earned runs on six hits and struck out two.

Sophomore outfielder Kevin Beard (Charleston) had a four-hit day for LC. Beard picked up two hits in each game, stole two bases and scored four runs.

 Sophomore Sam Perdue of West Jessamine, Kentucky had three hits including a double and drove in three runs. Second baseman Devin Lasanska (Porta) picked up two hits and three RBI’s, and Ryan Thomas (Lincoln) had two hits and two RBI’s as well.

“We were consistent in our overall play today and got a couple key hits in both games that opened things up a bit,” said Lincoln Head Coach Tony Thomas. “Our starters did a nice job of protecting leads and keeping them from having any big innings,” he added.

Lincoln College (5-15) will host Illinois Central College for one nine-inning game on May 1st at 3:00 PM.
