LU grad, former assistant coach Adams dies

Richard “Sparky” Adams, a 1955 Lawrence University graduate, died on April 22.

Adams was a coach, teacher and athletic administrator during a career that spanned more than four decades.

A native of Kimberly, Wis., Adams graduated from Lawrence in 1955 and played linebacker and back on the Vikings’ football team. Adams spent more than a decade coaching football, basketball, wrestling, baseball and track and serving as a director of athletics at the prep level.

Adams moved on to the collegiate level in 1969 and was an assistant coach at Drake University until 1973. Adams moved to Chadron State, where he was the head coach for six seasons and compiled a record of 31-17. Adams took the head coaching job at Bemidji State in 1979 to rebuild its football program.

Adams moved to the University of Dubuque to become the defensive coordinator from 1982-85. He also served as the school’s head baseball coach.

Adams returned to the high school level in 1985 and worked as the assistant principal, community education director and director of athletics at Unity High School. Adams then was the the principal and director of athletics at Pittsville High School from 1990 until his retirement in 1994.

In retirement, Adams continued to coach. He was an assistant football coach at Carroll University from 1995-98 and was the defensive line coach at Lawrence in 1999.

Adams is survived by his wife, Inge, and two children.

Services are set for Saturday, May 1, at Mount Olive Lutheran Church, 211 Main St., Mukwonago, Wis. The visitation will be from 9-11 a.m. with the service at 11 a.m.

Vikings battle to doubleheader split with Marian

The Lawrence University softball team battled back to win the first game and split a nonconference doubleheader with Marian University on Thursday at Whiting Field.

Lawrence won the opener 11-10, and Marian broke open a close game late to win the nightcap 7-1.

Emily Perish went 3-for-4 and drove in four runs in the opener to pace Lawrence (14-12). Alex Goodson went 3-for-3 for the Vikings.

Shannon Murray went the distance to pick up the win in the opener. She struck out two and walked one and allowed only three earned runs.

Perish had a two-run single in the first to help Lawrence jump out to a 3-0 lead. The Sabres (16-13) then exploded for seven runs in the second, highlighted by Ashley Engler’s two-run homer.

Lawrence came right back and tied it at 7-7 with four runs in the bottom of the second. Cathy Kaye and Gaelen Lombard-Knapp both hit solo homers in the inning, and Murray and Perish had run-scoring singles.

Marian came back to take a 9-7 lead in the top of the fourth, but the Vikings scored three times in the bottom half of the inning. Courtney Steile hit her first collegiate homer, a three-run blast, to give Lawrence a 10-9 lead.

The Sabres tied it at 10-10 in the fifth, but the Vikings took the back for good in the bottom of the fifth. Katie Simonson was hit by a pitch to start the inning and moved to second on Goodson’s single. Perish then singled up the middle to score Simonson for an 11-10 lead.

Murray then worked around a lead-off single by Marian in the sixth, and the Sabres had runners at second and third with two outs in the seventh. Murray struck out Jenna Whitehead to end the game.

In the nightcap, Cherise Waltz went the distance and allowed only four hits to pick up the win.

The Sabres broke a 1-1 tie with three runs in the sixth, highlighted by Emilie Jansen’s two-run homer. Marian added three more runs in the seventh to seal the win. Maria Archie hit a solo homer in the seventh, and Jansen added a run-scoring double.

Whitehead went 3-for-4 with a pair of RBIs to pace Marian in the second game.

Vikings drop pair to St. Norbert

DE PERE, Wis. – The Lawrence University softball team dropped a heartbreaker in the first game of a Midwest Conference doubleheader on Wednesday, and St. Norbert College rolled to a win in the second game to sweep the twinbill at Mel Nicks Field.

St. Norbert (22-6, 12-0 MWC) got a solo homer from Collette Ullmer in the bottom of the seventh to win the first game 1-0. The Green Knights took the nightcap 12-1.

Shannon Murray was the hard-luck losing pitcher in the opener despite allowing only three hits in the contest. Kayla Krueger got the win for St. Norbert after allowing three hits.

In the nightcap, the Green Knights exploded for 11 runs in the first inning. St. Norbert had 10 hits in the inning and took advantage of three Lawrence errors.

Ullmer went 3-for-4 in the nightcap and drove in three runs.
