Lincoln softball wins close vote to become next AnnArbor.com Team of the Week
There can only be one Team of the Week winner, but two teams in this week’s poll get points for creativity.

Both the Lincoln and Dexter softball got creative in racking up the votes, enlisting their respective little league organizations involved to help get out the vote.
The result was more than 1,500 votes cast over four days, with nearly 90 percent of them going to Lincoln and Dexter.
But in the end, Lincoln team pulled away in a close contest to become our Team of the Week for May 6-11.
The Railsplitters set a school record for wins last year, and have an opportunity to do it again this year after a strong start.
This week, Lincoln topped Temperance Bedford Monday before losing a close doubleheader against division-leading Tecumseh Thursday.
Next week, they will host Skyline in a Monday doubleheader, before traveling to SEC leader Saline Thursday.
We’ll be there throughout the week providing game coverage, features and photos of everything Railsplitter softball.
Our next Team of the Week poll opens Monday, so stop by then to vote for your favorite team.

It was 640 to 600 last night, so there was a late push by Lincoln to put it out of reach.
