LAST TIME OUT
Lindenwood suffered a sweep at the hands of Eastern Illinois to begin conference play last weekend. The Panthers scored five unanswered runs in the final two innings of game one to run away with the series opener before hanging for a 5-4 win in game two after Lindenwood overcame a three-run deficit to tie the game in the eighth with a
Jake Radosevich two-run homer. The Lions held an early lead in the series finale but could not keep up with a late offensive surge from the Panthers, falling 9-6.
Charlie Isom-McCall had a strong showing at the plate in the series, batting .583 (7-13) with a pair of three-hit outings, three doubles, four runs scored, an RBI, and three stolen bases.
