Lincoln's game last Saturday was a loss, but they didn't let that memory haunt them on Tuesday. They blew past the Bruce Randolph Grizzlies 12-2. Considering the Lancers have won eight matches by more than nine runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Gio Castro made a splash while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out ten batters over five innings while giving up just two earned runs off six hits (and only one walk). That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in April of 2024. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while going 2-for-3.

In other batting news, Sam Trujillo was incredible, scoring three runs and stealing three bases while going 3-for-3. What's more, he posted two doubles, the most he's had since back in March. Jose Bustos was another key player, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 1-for-3.

Lincoln always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .625. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Bruce Randolph only posted an OBP of .348.

Lincoln is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-3 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.6 runs over those games. As for Bruce Randolph, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-6.

Coming up, Lincoln will venture away from home to square off against Wheat Ridge at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. As for Bruce Randolph, they will welcome Manual at 4:15 p.m. on Friday. The Grizzlies will need to watch out since the Thunderbolts have now posted at least ten runs in their last five games.
