Lincoln barely beat Wheatland the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Fighting Zebras' pitchers stepped up to hand the Pirates a 7-0 shutout on Tuesday. The result was nothing new for the Fighting Zebras, who have now won 12 contests by seven runs or more so far this season.

Jackson Cook made a splash no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out eight over six innings pitched. He has been consistent for a while: he hasn't given up more than two walks in nine consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with one run and one RBI.

In other pitching news, Cooper Maul looked comfortable as he pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs off one hit. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in six consecutive appearances.

Back at the plate, the team relied heavily on Adriano Montes, who went 2-for-4 with one stolen base and two RBI.

The victory made it two in a row for Lincoln and bumps their season record up to 19-7. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 2 run in those games. As for Wheatland, they dropped their record down to 14-8-1 with the loss, which was their fourth straight on the road.

Lincoln will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Pirates: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.
