St. Norbert takes pair from Lawrence

APPLETON, Wis. — It took more than 24 hours to complete, but the St. Norbert College baseball team swept a Midwest Conference doubleheader from Lawrence University on Monday at Whiting Field.

St. Norbert (18-7, 7-1 MWC) won the opener 11-0 and took the nightcap 6-2 in what were home games for the Green Knights. St. Norbert was forced to play the contests at Lawrence (7-15, 1-11) because of wet conditions at Mel Nicks Field.

He went the distance, allowed five hits and two runs, struck out three and didn’t walk a batter. Atley Gay went seven innings, allowed nine hits and six runs, struck out four and walked two for Lawrence.

The Green Knights got virtually all of their offense from center fielder Alex Larsen. He hit a three-run homer to give St. Norbert a 3-0 lead in the second. Larsen then added a solo shot in the fourth and finished with four runs batted in.

Lawrence cut the St. Norbert lead in half by scoring twice in the top of the eighth. After Joel Birch reached on a fielder’s choice, Gabe Henriques doubled. Gabe Warshaw followed with a two-run single to trim the lead to 4-2.

The Green Knights sealed the win by getting those two runs back in the bottom half of the inning.
