Harrogate, TN - Three days after splitting a double header with Carson-Newman, the Lincoln Memorial baseball team was back in action at home on Tuesday in non-conference action, playing host to the Trevecca Nazarene University Trojans. The Railsplitters entered the game with a 24-15 record.

Lincoln Memorial responded in the bottom of the inning with three runs. Alex Kowalski drove in Colin Goda, Joey LaMattina was walked with the bases loaded seeing Carson Boles score. Mitch Petzelt was walked with the bases loaded, scoring Cameron Bowen, giving the Railsplitters a 3-1 advantage.

After retiring the Lincoln Memorial offense, Trevecca gained its first lead of the game in the top of the third, driving in two runs to bring the score to 5-3.

Kasten Harvey connected on a three run bomb, driving in Goda and Hall to give the Railsplitters at 9–5 lead. Both teams failed to score again until the sixth inning before the Railsplitters began to pour it on. LaMattina drove in Ryan Kurth with a double to left center, Petzelt drove in LaMattina with a single down the left field line, and Chris Hall doubled to left center driving in Petzelt, further extending the Lincoln Memorial lead to 12–5.
