In the first 5-3 win, Adam Harkins, the Lincoln head coach said, “The boys put together a great game tonight, great in the field and at the plate. Big night for our pitchers striking out 16 between our starter Liam Thomas “LT” Jacobs with 10 and a strong closer from Aiden Sanborn with six. The game was scoreless until the fourth, getting out trouble in two innings with bases loaded. Our bats were hot forcing Bath to make plays, which they really did a nice job.”
