THE LEAD - As the season winds down, it's crunch time for the Lynx. Game 1 started off shaky, but the Lynx regrouped quickly. However, a great pitching performance from the Wildcats made catching up difficult. Game 2, however, was a much different story. The teams traded the lead back and forth all game until a rally from Bay Path gave them a big lead. Lesley was unfazed as they tied it back up in the 5th. But another rally sealed the game for the Wildcats.

• The Wildcats started the game with a rally that finished with a homer. They put up six in the first. 

• The Lynx responded as soon as they could. Isabella Moscoso singled to lead off and then made it to second on a wild pitch. Leah St. John then doubled and brought her in.

• In the 3rd, the Bay Path put up another two and one more in the 4th.

• They loaded the bases up in the 5th, and a series of singles and walks gave them another six runs.
