COLUMBIA, Ky. -- The Lindsey Wilson College baseball team followed up a Friday sweep of Pikeville (Ky.) College with another pair of wins against the Bears on Saturday at Lindsey Wilson Park. The Blue Raiders escaped the opener with an 8-7 win, then used a five-run third inning to win game two 7-3.
