Lincoln had already won six in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 7.5 runs) and they went ahead and made it seven on Tuesday. They came out on top against the Woodland Wolves by a score of 6-2. For the Fighting Zebras, this counts as revenge for the 4-3 victory the Wolves walked away with the last time they faced one another back in March of 2018.

Jackson Cook spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on three hits and racked up eight Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in nine consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Dylan Knell, who scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. Diego Cuevas was another key player, going 2-for-3 with one RBI.

Lincoln kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least ten hits in four consecutive matches.

Lincoln's record now sits at 16-5. As for Woodland, the loss snapped their winning streak at five games and leaves them with a 15-7 record.

Coming up, Lincoln is taking a road trip to face off against Bear River at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Fighting Zebras 2.7, the Bruins 3.3) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for Woodland, they will take on Cordova in a tournament on Wednesday. The last three games the Lancers have played have been within two runs, so don't be surprised if it's a close one.
