CHICAGO, Ill. -- The Lawrence University baseball bounced back from a tough game one loss Saturday to earn a nonconference doubleheader split at North Park University.

    Lawrence was up 1-0 when the Vikings tacked on two more runs in the third, thanks in part to Perez's run-scoring double. 
    Lawrence then broke the game open in a five-run fourth innings. Hartlaub got things started with a run-scoring double, and Freeman followed with a two-run single for a 6-0 lead. Perez then belted a two-run homer, and the Vikings led 8-0.
