Lincoln fell behind 2-0 in the top of the first
inning as the Cyclones put together two doubles and a walk for
their offense.
The Railsplitters were able to score a run in the bottom of the
first inning on two errors, cutting the lead in half.
In the bottom of the third inning, Lincoln tied the game 2-2
after Grey Gilbert reached on an error and scored on a ground
out by Regan Kutz.
The top of the fourth inning saw the Cyclones reclaim the lead
on a single and a double.
By the time the bottom of the fifth inning rolled around the
Lincoln girls were ready to tie the game again. Emma Hutchison
drew a lead off walk and Gilbert and Kutz put together singles
to make it a 3-3 game.
Norris was the second batter of the eighth inning and she swung
at the first pitch to break the tie. The ball traveled to center
field on a line drive for a home run.
Lincoln’s half of the eighth inning was over too quickly and the
4-3 loss was in the books.
