CHICAGO, Ill. -- The Lawrence University baseball team grabbed a Midwest Conference doubleheader split with the University of Chicago on Saturday at J. Kyle Anderson Field.
    Lawrence took the opener 8-4, and Chicago snapped the Vikings' 12-game winning streak with a 13-4 win in the second game.
    In the first game, Lawrence (20-7, 12-1 MWC) rode the superlative pitching of ace Quinn Berglin. Berglin allowed only one hit over 7.2 innings, struck out 11 and walked three to improve to 7-0 on the season. The only hit allowed by Berglin was a lead-off single in the fourth inning.
    Jacob Charon led the Vikings by going 3-for-4, and he drove in a run and scored a run. Parker Knoll and Edan Perez had two hits apiece and both scored a pair of runs for the Vikings.
    Lawrence got on the board in the second inning when Charon led off with a single and scored on Zach Leslie's groundout. The Vikings made it 2-0 in the third when Taylor Freeman and Knoll led off the inning with singles, and Freeman scored on Perez's sacrifice fly.
    The Vikings doubled the lead with a pair of runs in the fifth as Charon delivered a run-scoring single and William Zatkowski picked up a sacrifice fly for a 4-0 advantage.
    After Lawrence added a run in the seventh, the Vikings sealed the victory with three in the ninth. Fielder's choice ground balls by both Tate Hartlaub and William Polanco scored runs, and Ben Gutkowski's single scored another to make it 8-0. The Maroons scored all four of their runs in the bottom of the ninth.
    In the nightcap, Lawrence trailed 2-1 when Chicago scored seven times in the third to take control. Lawrence closed to 9-3, but Chicago added two runs in the fifth to pull away again.
    Knoll went 3-for-5 with two doubles, three RBIs and two runs scored in the second game, and Perez was 2-for-5. 
    Nick Katz made the start but allowed eight runs on nine hits in two-plus innings to take the loss. Kirk Waller pitched the final 4.1 innings to get the win for Chicago (8-16, 7-3).
    It was Lawrence's first loss since March 20.
    The teams wrap up the series with a single game on Sunday.
