Cornell shuts out Vikings

EAST PEORIA, Ill. — Jackie Sernek tossed a four-hit shutout to lead Cornell College to a 3-0 victory over Lawrence University on Sunday at the Midwest Conference Classic.

Sernek struck out six and walked two over seven innings for the Rams (17-8, 5-3 MWC). Sernek’s outing overshadowed a fine effort from Liz Barthels, who went the distance, allowed six hits and only one earned run for the Vikings (12-8, 3-3).

Brianna Carney went 2-for-2 to pace Cornell, who scored unearned runs in the third and fourth and picked up another run in the sixth inning.
