THE LEAD - As the regular season comes to a close, the Lynx are on the outside of the playoffs, but there's still hope. Finishing out their last home stands with a pair of wins is exactly what they need. In game one, they got out to a big lead early, thanks in part to a 3-run homer from Leah St. John. They were able to ride the lead to their second win of the season. A 13-5 triumph in 5 innings. Then in game 2, the Hornets were the first to strike, but Lesley stayed determined and secured the sweep with a 7-2 win.

HOW IT HAPPENED (Game 1)

• Isabella Moscoso started the bottom of the first with a double. She then stole third, and a single to left from St. John got the Lynx on the board early. They weren't done yet. Madison Herbert hit into a fielder's choice and scored another run. She then stole second, and a single from Lauren Martin brought her home.

• The Hornets responded by putting up four in the second and taking the lead.

• The Lynx wasted no time getting it right back. Lily Wright reached on an error, and Marissa De La Rosa was hit by a pitch. Moscoso popped up to move the runners up, and St. John doubled to retake the lead. Thomas then singled to score another. Herbert singled to put runners on first and second. Then Martin singled for another RBI.

• They kept the momentum going in the 3rd with a leadoff single by Wright and another by Moscoso. St. John then smacked a three-run homer to make it 10-4.

• The Hornets were able to put up one more run in the 4th.

• The Lynx did not let up. Martin singled to lead off the inning; Jess O'Neill took one for the team, and so did De La Rosa, loading the bases. A fielder's choice from Moscoso drove in two.

• In the bottom of the fifth they Lynx only needed one run for the mercy rule to come into play. St. John doubled on the first pitch. Thomas then hit into an error, and a passed ball allowed St. John to score and win the game, 13-5

INSIDE THE NUMBERS (Game 1)

• St. John was unstoppable. She went 4 for 4 with two doubles and a home run. She drove in six runs and accounted for another four.

• On the mound, Herbert threw a complete 5.0 inning game, giving up two earned runs on eight hits while only walking two and getting a strikeout. At the plate, she also went 1 for 3 with an RBI. She also stole a base.

• Ella Huntington did everything she could to help the Hornets. She went 2 for 3 with the only double of the game for them. She drove in two while also scoring twice.

HOW IT HAPPENED (Game 2)

• The Hornets were the first to strike in Game 2. In the 2nd, they put up 2 runs, which would be their only runs of the game.

• In the bottom half, Herbert reached on an error, a sacrifice bunt from Savannah Gravitt moved her up to second, a wild pitch got her to third, and another one let her score.

• Moscoso led off the third with a walk, then St. John singled, and a fielder's choice loaded the bases. Martin singled and scored two runs. Then Herbert singled to score another and make it 4-2.

• Gravitt then reaches on a fielder's choice, where everyone's safe to load them back up. De La Rosa then hits into another and makes it 5-2.

• Moscoso led off the fourth with a single. A passed ball moved her up. Then Martin hit into an error and drove in the run.
