Key hits elude Vikings in loss to MSOE

MILWAUKEE, Wis. – The Lawrence University baseball team couldn’t come up with key hits on Thursday and dropped a 6-3 nonconference decision to the Milwaukee School of Engineering at Henry Aaron Field.

Lawrence (3-17) pounded out 12 hits but stranded nine runners in the contest. Ben Hansen allowed 10 hits over eight innings but picked up the win. He struck out eight and walked one. Conor Heneghan took the loss.

MSOE (8-16) got three hits from Mike Brunette and he scored three runs. Robert Rashid went 4-for-5 with two runs batted in to pace the Vikings. Rashid, who leads the nation in stolen bases, picked up a pair of steals. Davide Harris went 3-for-4 and scored a pair of runs for Lawrence.

MSOE jumped ahead with four runs on five hits in the second inning. Lawrence cut the lead in half with a pair of runs in the top half of the third. Rashid and Luke Kostreva both had run-scoring singles in the inning.

Lawrence, which stranded at least one runner in every inning but the first and eighth, added another run in the ninth on Rashid’s run-scoring single.

The Vikings got a solid relief performance from freshman Sam Ausloos, who pitched three innings of scoreless relief. He allowed one hit, struck out two and walked one.
