Harrogate, TN - After taking both games in the Saturday double header, the Lincoln Memorial baseball team fell to the visiting Wingate Bulldogs in the third and final game on Sunday, 11-5. The Railsplitters took down the Bulldogs in back-to-back games on Saturday by a combined score of 22-6.

With the two wins and one loss, the Railsplitters moved to 18-8 on the season with a 10-5 mark in conference play.

Sunday's game looked to be a continuation of Saturday's games as Lincoln Memorial came out swinging for the fences, racking up four runs in the first inning of the game. Ryan Kurth kicked things off with a two RBI single to left field, driving in Cameron Bowen and Carson Boles. Tucker Hagan got in on the action connecting on an RBI single to third, driving in teammate Sam Mast to give the Railsplitters a 3-0 lead. Collin Goda was walked with the bases loaded, bringing in Kurth to give Lincoln Memorial a 4-0 lead after one. From the second to fifth inning, Wingate took control, outscoring the Railsplitters 7-0 across that span. In the bottom of the fifth, needing a run, Kasten Harvey connected on a no-doubter over the left field wall to cut the deficit to two runs, 7-5. However, it was the last run of the game for the Railsplitters, seeing Wingate pull away and secure an 11-5 victory.
