Baseball Game Preview: Arnold Marlins vs. Lincoln Trojans

The Arnold Marlins are taking a road trip to challenge the Lincoln Trojans at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. Both teams are still undefeated after three-games, but that won't be the case come Thursday.

Last Tuesday, Arnold was able to grind out a solid victory over Mosley, taking the game 8-5.

Arnold let Mack Jones and Braxton Greve loose on the outfield. Jones got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one double and one RBI, while Greve scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. The dominant performance gave Greve a new career-high in runs. The team also got some help courtesy of Mason Laymon, who went 2-for-3 with one double.

Arnold always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .588. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Mosley only posted an OBP of .323.

Meanwhile, Lincoln sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 5-3 win over St. Johns Country Day on Monday.

Lincoln's victory was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 3-0. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.2 runs over those games. As for Arnold, their record is now 3-0.

Arnold took their win against Lincoln when the teams last played back in March of 2024 by a conclusive 6-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for Arnold since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
