Liberty-Benton 3 Lincolnview 2

FINDLAY — No. 8 Lincolnview lost for just the second time this season, falling 3-2 to Liberty-Benton on Saturday.

The game was scoreless entering the bottom of the sixth inning, but the Eagles (14-3) changed that by plating all three of their runs, two on RBI singles and the other on a Lancer error. Lincolnview tried to rally in the top of the seventh, but came up just short. Taylor Post, who opened the inning with a single, and Grace Brickner, who reached first base on an error then advanced on a walk, both scored on Liberty-Benton’s second error of the game. However, the Eagles were able to strike out the final two batters to preserve the victory.

Lincolnview (12-2) was held to three hits in the game – a double by Ashlyn Price and singles by Addysen Stevens and Post. On the mound, Post allowed six hits and three runs (two earned) and struck out five.

The Lancers are scheduled to host Allen East today.
