Railsplitters sweep Taylorville on Senior Night 

[May 23, 2019] 

The Lincoln Railsplitters Softball Team swept Taylorville in a doubleheader last week by final scores of 7-6 and 7-4.

Sandwiched in the middle of the games was Senior Night with the team recognizing their only senior, Zoey Lowe. 

Game one of the doubleheaders ended in a walk-off win for the Railsplitters.

Trailing 6-5 heading into the bottom of the seventh inning, Lincoln started the rally off on a walk to Abby Glenn. Following two quick outs, Bayleigh Gillum put the ball in play and reached on an error by the shortstop. Courtesy runner Reagan MacConnell raced home with the tying run. Macailey Metelko then singled on a line drive to center that scored Gillum with the winning run. Lincoln takes game one in exciting fashion, 7-6 the final.

Abby Glenn earned the win for Lincoln. Glenn tossed seven innings, giving up two earned runs on ten hits. She struck out six batters and walked one.

Sydney Worth, Emily Paulus and Macailey Metelko each had two hits to lead the Lincoln offense.

Game two belonged to Lincoln early on. Chloe Laubenstein broke a 2-2 tie in the bottom of the second inning with a three-run shot over the left field fence that scored Bayleigh Gillum and Macailey Metelko.

Zoey Lowe was honored on Senior Night for the Lady Railsplitters. Lowe is the daughter of Tabatha Blair and Justin Crowell.

Emily Paulus added a two-run single in the bottom of the fourth inning that stretched the Lincoln lead to 7-3.
 

Taylorville added a run in the sixth inning.

Abby Glenn escaped damage in the seventh inning after back-to-back singles by the Tornadoes. The Railsplitters defense turned a double play and Glenn then ended the game by inducing a fly ball for the final out. Lincoln gets the sweep and takes game two by a final score of 7-4.

Abby Glenn got the win for Lincoln. Glenn went the distance again, giving up three earned runs on 12 hits. She struck out one batter.

Chloe Laubenstein led the Lincoln offense with a 2-for-3 performance in game two. She drove in three runs and scored three runs. Her home run was the big hit of the game.
