SAUGET, Ill. -- The Lawrence University baseball team scored seven times in the second inning Saturday and rolled to an 11-4 nonconference victory over Heidelberg University at GCS Ballpark.

Another error and a hit batsman kept the inning alive, and Polanco and Haylock both drew bases-loaded walks to force in a pair of runs for a 7-0 Lawrence lead.
