APPLETON, Wis. - Ripon continued their recent dominance over Lawrence during game one of Saturday's baseball doubleheader, defeating the Vikings for their 14th consecutive win in the series.

Ripon added two more runs in the fourth on an RBI double from Nick Taranto and a sac fly from Randy Finger, before building a 5-0 lead in the fifth on a Michael Barnes sac fly. Lawrence (7-10, 1-1 MWC) attempted a comeback with two runs in the bottom of the ninth, but it was too little too late, as the Vikings left two runners on base when the final out was recorded.

Ripon finished with 10 hits, with two apeice coming from Schmitt, Nick Kita and Bradley Knoblock. Drew Slade (1-3) earned the victory, pitching eight scoreless innings, scattering five hits and striking out eight batters.
