The Lindenwood softball team (12-3) kept its momentum on Sunday, defeating Trevecca, 2-0, in its first contest of THE Spring Games down in Winter Haven, Fla. The Lions have now beaten the Trojans twice this season.
Â
The day's second game against Pittsburgh at Johnstown was canceled due to a lack of umpires.

GAME OVERVIEW
Lindenwood clinched the season series against Trevecca, shutting out the Trojans in the teams' third bout, 2-0. Weyh continued to shine on the rubber, as the junior tossed her fourth complete-game shutout in the victory. The Mokena, Ill., native - who struck out four Trojans on Sunday morning - also went the distance in a 7-1 Lions' win on February 20 against Trevecca.
Â
Taylor Bushman and
Nicole Henson went a combined 4-for-7 in the top two positions in the batting lineup, the latter of whom tallied the game's lone RBI with a single in the second that plated
Lauren Pelton. Bushman came around to score in the opening frame when
Whitney Wendel reached on an error by the Trojan shortstop.
Â
Megan Clark stretched her team-high hit streak to four in the win, while
Irelynn West joined Bushman with a stolen base.
