Softball Recap: Lincoln Railsplitters vs. Pinckney Pirates

Lincoln kicked off their season on the road in Wednesday's first game and hit a couple of potholes. They fell just short of the Pinckney Pirates by a score of 5-4. The result was an unpleasant reminder to Lincoln of the 14-12 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in April of 2023.

For Pinckney's part, Abby Rauser spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned runs on eight hits and racked up six Ks.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Cece Thorington, who scored three runs and stole a base while going 3-for-3. MacKenzie Burns was another key contributor, going 1-for-2 with a home run and three RBI.

The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Lincoln beat Pinckney by a score of 2-0 later that day.
