Vikings get walk-off win, split doubleheader with Cornell

    ASHWAUBENON, Wis. -- The Lawrence University baseball team rallied for a dramatic win in the opener Friday at Capital Credit Union Park and settled for a Midwest Conference doubleheader split with Cornell College.
    Lawrence won 9-8 in 12 innings in the first game, and Cornell took the nightcap 6-2.
    In the first game, Zach Leslie went 3-for-5 with a homer, two runs scored and three runs batted in for Lawrence (6-12, 2-5 MWC). Parker Knoll went 4-for-7, scored a run and drove in two for the Vikings, and Jacob Charon went 3-for-6 with a double. Edan Perez went 2-for-4 with a double for the Vikings, and Jake Land belted his first homer of the season.
    Cam Ruth worked 3.2 innings of one-hit relief to pick up his first victory of the season for Lawrence. 
    Land's homer in the third got the Vikings on the board and trimmed Cornell's lead to 4-1. The Vikings tacked on two more runs in the fourth on RBI singles from Stephaune Haylock and William Zatkowski to cut the lead to 4-3.
    Leslie then smacked a two-run homer to put the Vikings up 5-4 in the seventh, and Lawrence tacked on another run in the eighth on Leslie's run-scoring single. 
    Cornell (11-8, 3-3) then rallied for four runs in the top of the ninth for an 8-6 lead. Lawrence battled back in the bottom of the ninth when Haylock walked and Mitchell Sandleback was hit with a pitch. Knoll then delivered a two-run single to tie the game at 8-8.
    The contest stretched into the 12th when the Vikings had two on with one out. The Rams threw a runner out at the plate on Charon's single, but Perez then walked to load the bases. Taylor Freeman hit a slow roller to third, and Cornell's Kale Rose threw wildly to first and Leslie scored the winning run.
    In the second game, Cornell's Jake Schope limited the Vikings to three hits and one run over six innings. Patrick Montagna then tossed three innings of one-hit relief to pick up the save.
    Lawrence was limited to four hits and scored single runs in the fourth and eighth.
    Nick Katz allowed 11 hits and six runs over 7.1 innings and took the loss.
