John Sansone had his first three-hit game of the season and drove in Curt Smith with an RBI single in the 6th inning to cut the deficit to 4-2.
The 'Dogs loaded the bases in the 7th inning without a hit, but Nick Schulz struck out looking to end the inning. Lincoln had 11 strikeouts in the game.
Austin Boyle pitched two innings in relief and retired six straight hitters after a pop-up double that fell between Schulz and Cody Regis in the 7th, and Cameron McVey worked a 1-2-3 9th.
