After losing to Lincoln the last time they met, Hazen decided to demonstrate that turnabout is fair play. The Hazen Highlanders won by a run and slipped past the Lincoln Lynx 2-1. That's two games straight that Hazen has won by just one run.
Sam Nicholson looked comfortable as he struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned run off two hits (and not a single walk). He has been consistent recently: he hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts every time he's pitched this season.
At the plate, Hazen's win was truly a team effort as five different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Kyle Tat, who went 1-for-3 with a triple and a run.
The victory made it two in a row for Hazen and bumps their season record up to 8-5. As for Lincoln, they now have a losing record at 6-7.
Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Hazen will square off against Liberty at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Lincoln, they will head out on the road to challenge Roosevelt at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Lincoln's pitching crew has only allowed three runs per game this season, so Roosevelt's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
