Lincoln-Way West Dominates Lockport in 4-0 Shutout Victory
May 12, 2026/
The Lincoln-Way West varsity softball team delivered a masterful performance on Monday, blanking Lockport 4-0 in a conference clash. The Warriors’ defense was impenetrable, holding the Porters hitless throughout the contest to secure the victory.
Lincoln-Way West broke the game open in the second inning, stringing together hits to plate three runs and seize an early advantage. The Warriors added an insurance run in the fourth inning to build their lead, while the pitching staff remained in complete control on the other side of the ball.
The Lincoln-Way West hurlers kept the Lockport hitters off-balance for all six innings, allowing only five walks and recording four strikeouts. Lockport pitcher Bridget Faut put in a solid effort for the Porters, limiting the Warriors to six hits, but the Lincoln-Way West offense proved opportunistic when it mattered most.
