Linn-Mar sweeps No. 1 Cougars
The Linn-Mar Lions were not happy when they finished the 2014 season with a 16-21 record and not pleased when they began the 2015 campaign with a loss to Marion in the Metro Tournament, but the Lions were feeling good about themselves Monday night.
Linn-Mar swept top-ranked Kennedy, 4-2 and 6-2, in a Mississippi Valley Conference doubleheader at the Linn-Mar field with good pitching and timely hitting.
The Cougars began the year as the No. 1 team in Class 4A and looked good in the Metro Tournament, but the Lions had the upper hand this time.
"They've kind of been the staple of success," Linn-Mar Coach Chad Lechner said about Kennedy. "We've beaten them a few times here and there, but a sweep? I'm sure they've been few and far between, especially with a team as good as they have this year.
