It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Lincoln had no problem doing just that on Sunday. They had just enough and edged out the Johnston Panthers 3-2. This was a revenge game for the Lions: when they faced off against the Panthers two weeks ago, they had to take a 3-1 defeat.

Molly Ganim tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run while striking out seven over 4.2 innings pitched. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 12 consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Chloe Landry was incredible, going 2-for-4 with two triples, two RBI, and one run. Those two triples gave her a new career-high. Annika Sampson also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.

Lincoln pushed their record up to 21-1 with the win, which was their third straight at home. As for Johnston, they moved to 18-5 with that loss, which also ended their five-game winning streak.

As of now, neither Lincoln nor the Panthers have any future games scheduled.
