After a 16-day layoff due to unseasonable weather, the Chaparrals resumed their season Sunday with a split against College of Lake County, losing the opener 3-2 and winning the second, 3-1.
 
The Chaps, now 7-7 overall, begin a busy week Tuesday when they play host to Waubonsee College at COD. They are scheduled to play eight games in a six-game span when they begin against the Chiefs.
 
Game 1: Lake County 3, Chaparrals 2
One rough inning cost Nick Shelton and the Chaparrals when the hosts scored third runs in the third and that was enough to hold on.
 
Rocky Pascente gave the Chaps a one-run lead in the third with his double that scored Conor Fitzgerald. Anthony Fumagalli drove in the other run, a single in the sixth that scored Cam Steffens.
 
Shelton went the distance, striking out five and allowing three walks. Only one run was earned.

In the sixth, COD scored a pair of runs on a bases-loaded hit by pitch to Fumagalli that scored Sherman Martin. Kyle Ferguson then scored on a wild pitch.
