Lincoln barely beat Tracy the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Trojans were the clear victors by a 12-2 margin over the Bulldogs on Monday. The Trojans might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight matchups by six runs or more this season.

Taylor Tran made a splash no matter where he played. He struck out six batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits (and only one walk). That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in April of 2025. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-4 with one home run and two RBI. That home run was his first of the season.

In other batting news, Aiden Williams was a standout: he went 2-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. He is becoming a predictor of Lincoln's success: when he posts at least three RBI the team is undefeated (and 6-8 when he doesn't). The team also got some help courtesy of Trey Jackson, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.

Lincoln lost a few balls and finished the game with three home runs. That's the most home runs they've managed all season.

The win (which was Lincoln's third in a row) raised their record to 10-8. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.3 runs over those games. As for Tracy, they dropped their record down to 5-13 with the loss, which was their sixth straight at home.

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