Lincoln (PA) Top Performers:

• Chloe Foster (Dresher, Pa./Upper Dublin) pitched well despite wearing the loss in game two, pitching a complete game of six innings while allowing just two earned runs as well as a punchout.

 

• Kevyn Jones (Baltimore, Md./Paul Laurence Dunbar) logged a hit and an RBI in each contest with the game one base knock being a two-bagger, ultimately scoring while she added a base on balls in the nightcap.

 

• Kailee Richmond (Womelsdorf, Pa./Conrad Weiser) was quite possibly the best Lions hitter in game two, reaching safely all three times to the dish as she smacked a pair of singles plus drew ball four on top of making her way to first base via hit-by-pitch in the opener.

 

• Tia Brown (Newark, N.Y./Newark) and Cailyn Dove (Annapolis, Md./Broadneck Senior) each contributed an RBI single, and Aliya Rose (Lutherville, Md./Maryvale Preperatory) swiped second.
