WAUKESHA, Wis. -- The Lawrence University baseball team dropped a pair of heartbreakers at Carroll University on Saturday as the Pioneers won 14-13 and 8-7 in a Midwest Conference doubleheader.

Robert Rashid, Zach Owsley and Luke Kostreva all had three hits for Lawrence in the opener. Drew Volkmann and Matt Francois had three hits apiece for the Pioneers.
Kostreva blasted a three-run homer in the first inning and Andy Frelich followed with a solo shot as the Vikings went up 5-0.
Lawrence added a run in the second and got three more in the third. A.J. Nathan belted a two-run homer in that inning and the Vikings led 9-0.
Carroll scored four times in its half of third and then added three runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings to take a 13-9 lead.
Lawrence battled back with three runs in the seventh as Phil Wisniewski had a run-scoring double, and Rashid stole home.
The Vikings tied it at 13-13 in the top of the ninth when Rashid walked and later scored on Owsley's sacrifice fly. Carroll won it in the bottom of the ninth when Nick Sobrilsky reached on an error to start the inning and scored on Francois' single.
