It was a lot harder than the first time around, but Linn-Mar still managed to handle the Jefferson baseball team Monday night.
Twice.
Linn-Mar scored twice in the top of the seventh to win the opener, 5-4, then tallied three times over the fifth and six innings for a 5-3 win in the nightcap at the Jefferson field.
The pair of wins stretched Linn-Mar's winning streak to eight games.
Linn-Mar posted late rallies twice to win games Saturday en route to the title of its own invitational baseball tournament.
The Lions scored 10 runs over the fifth and sixth innings to beat Fort Madison, 12-7, in their first game, then tallied four times in the bottom of the sixth inning to beat Muscatine, 9-5, in the championship game.
Michael Redmond drove in five runs against Fort Madison and Austin Stroschein had three RBIs against Muscatine.

As it turned out, Greve’s idea of relaxing was to toss a two-hit shutout.
Greve made quick work of the Washington lineup and so did Linn-Mar, squashing the Warriors 13-0 in five innings in a Mississippi Valley Conference game at Linn-Mar.
MUSCATINE - The Linn-Mar Lions received a standing ovation from their fans Thursday following their strong performance at the Class 3A state soccer tournament.
The 10th-ranked Lions gave No. 1 Ankeny a tough battle before falling, 2-0, in the quarterfinals at the Muscatine Soccer Complex.
Ankeny is undefeated and the defending state champion, but it was a 1-0 game until the Hawkettes scored their clinching goal with just 3:48 left in the game.
After the first inning Thursday night, the Washington baseball team looked promising. Pitcher Noah Dostal sat Linn-Mar’s first three hitters down in order and then the Warriors came to the plate and scored one run on two hits.
That didn’t sit well with Linn-Mar. It especially didn’t sit well with Lion pitcher Justin Wyant. He used that first inning as fuel and didn’t allow a run the rest of the night, pitching a complete game four-hitter.
Along with some solid offensive and defensive support from his teammates, Wyant propelled Linn-Mar past the Warriors, 7-1, at the Washington baseball field.
