There's no place like home for Lincoln, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Friday. They put the hurt on the Valley Christian Lions with a sharp 12-2 win on Saturday. The result was nothing new for the Fighting Zebras, who have now won 11 matches by seven runs or more so far this season.

Anthony Jackson looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit over four innings pitched. What's more, he posted four strikeouts, the most he's had over his last four contests.

At the plate, Landyn Plaut was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, four runs, and one stolen base. Those four runs gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Aiden Maul, who went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, three runs, and one double.

Lincoln kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.

Lincoln has been performing well recently as they've won nine of their last 11 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.4 runs on average over those games. As for Valley Christian, the defeat snapped their winning streak at six games and leaves them with a 9-3 record.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Lincoln will host Wheatland at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Pirates' pitching crew has only allowed four runs per game this season, so the Fighting Zebras' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Valley Christian, they will be playing at home against Western Sierra Collegiate Academy at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. The Wolves have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 6.69 runs per game on average), something the Lions will no doubt try to take advantage of.
