Lions Edge Maroon Tigers in Home-Opening Twinbill at Gresham Park

ATLANTA, GA | Morehouse opened its 2026 home slate Tuesday at Gresham Park, but Lincoln (Pa.) spoiled the day in the Maroon Tigers' home opener and the Lions' season debut, taking both ends of a seven-inning doubleheader, 5-0 and 1-0.

GAME 1 — Lincoln (Pa.) 5, Morehouse 0

Lincoln struck early and never trailed, while the Maroon Tigers threatened in a few key moments but couldn't find the big hit.

  • T5: K. Gardner homered to right, 2 RBI (M. Brown scored) — LU 5, HC 0

Key Moments

  • Morehouse's best early chance came immediately: Elijah James led off the first with a double and moved to third, but the Maroon Tigers came up empty.
  • In the third, Morehouse put runners on first and second with no outs, but a double play and a strikeout ended the threat.
  • The Maroon Tigers were aggressive on the bases (four steals), yet Lincoln worked out of traffic throughout the opener.

GAME 2 — Lincoln (Pa.) 1, Morehouse 0

The nightcap was a classic pitchers' duel, decided by one swing of momentum in the sixth inning and one final Morehouse rally that came up just short.

Scoring Summary

Key Moments

  • Morehouse's bullpen kept the Lions in check, turning three double plays and allowing just four hits.
  • Lincoln's starter Green was in control, piling up strikeouts and preventing Morehouse from stringing hits together.
  • The Maroon Tigers mounted their biggest push in the seventh: TJ Whiteman and Vernon Clay delivered back-to-back singles, and Mariano McLean ripped a double to put the tying run 90 feet away, but Lincoln recorded the final out with runners in scoring position.
