The Lincoln Cardinals are taking a road trip to challenge the McDaniel Mountain Lions at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Neither team made it on the board the last time they hit the pitch, so they've probably got a bit of extra motivation.
Lincoln is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Oregon's top teams: Ida B. Wells, who was ranked 21st at the time (Lincoln was ranked eighth). The two teams finished up on equal footing with a 1-1 draw on Thursday. The result (or lack thereof) was the first time Lincoln have been dealt a draw since back in September.
Meanwhile, Thursday just wasn't the day for McDaniel's offense. They took a 2-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of Grant on Thursday. McDaniel haven't had much luck with Grant recently, as the team has come up short the last six times they've met.
McDaniel's loss dropped their record down to 4-4-5. Lincoln's draw gives them a new season record of 8-3-2.
Lincoln took their victory against McDaniel in their previous meeting back in October of 2024 by a conclusive 8-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Cardinals since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
