Yellowjackets Fall to Luther in the NCAA Regionals

Box Score

Luther 8, Yellowjackets 0 (6 innings)
 
Friday morning the Yellowjackets softball team took the field in Decorah, Iowa for their first NCAA tournament appearance since 2004. The Yellowjackets faced no small task in the first round of their regional, as they took on the host and fifth ranked team in the nation in the Luther College Norse.

It didn't take long for the Norse to show why they are ranked fifth in the nation. They strung together five straight hits in the second to go up 3-0 before scoring one in the fourth, three in the fifth, and one in the sixth to defeat the Yellowjackets 8-0.

For as difficult as the Luther batters were to get out at the plate, they were equally as hard to get a hit against. Luther starting pitcher Samantha Bratland frustrated the Yellowjackets at the plate all game, as they only managed to get two hits. Kari Shipman (Detroit Lakes, Minn./Frazee) and Shelly Misco (Appleton, Wis./Appleton North) had one hit each for the Yellowjackets.

Sarah Hendrickson (Duluth, Minn./Denfeld) took the loss for the Yellowjackets to fall to 20-8 on the season. Hendrickson allowed eight runs (seven earned) on 15 hits while walking one in the complete-game effort.

The Yellowjackets (27-14, 13-3 UMAC) now take on Simpson College in an elimination game. First pitch from the Luther College Softball Diamon in Decorah, Iowa is set for 1:30 p.m.
