Bethany Lutheran 4, UW-Superior 0 | UW-Superior 9, Bethany Lutheran 8

AUSTIN, Minn. (April 7, 2018) – The Yellowjackets returned to action Saturday afternoon, collecting their first conference win of the year.

Game 1

The Vikings got off to a hot start in the first inning, putting a home run over the left field wall to go up 1-0. Saige Patrick (Steinbach, Man./St. Mary's Academy) would return fire in the 'Jacket half of the first, singling up the middle, but Superior couldn't bring her home.

Macy Hanson (Grantsburg, Wis./Grantsburg) pitched well through four innings, striking out eight batters, including five in a row from the second to third innings. Bethany Lutheran added two more in the fourth inning, going up 3-0 on four hits, and then the final run of the game in the top of the sixth.

The Yellowjackets found only three hits in the game, falling 4-0.

Game 2

The second game saw no runs through the first three and a half innings until the 'Jackets scored one. Alayna Tulip (Arcadia, Wis./Arcadia) would single to center while Bailey Kinnunen (Grand Rapids, Minn./Grand Rapids) singled to advance Tulip to third. A sacrifice ground ball to second scored Tulip to get the run.

The Vikings scored five in the following half inning to take a sizable lead, but the 'Jackets fired back to cut the lead down. Ciarra Stavang (Duluth, Minn./Denfeld ) walked and advanced to second on a passed ball. Patrick brought her home on a double to left field, making it 5-2. A throwing error scored Patrick and put Katie White (Pequot Lakes, Minn./Pequot Lakes) on second; White was then brought home on a Kinnunen single to make it just a one-score, 5-4 game.

The Vikings would score quickly in the next inning to take a big 8-4 lead, but Superior wasn't done scoring either.

Gabby Gidley (Superior, Wis./Superior) doubled to start the sixth, and Sarah Fjeran (Duluth, Minn./Marshall School) singled to score Gidley. Patrick would then push a single home to bring home Stavang and move Maggie Cragg (Champlin, Minn./Champlin Park) to third. Another run was added by a sacrifice hit from Tulip to make it 8-7.

The Yellowjackets added the game winning runs when Kinnunen found another hit, doubling down the left field line.

Hanson would get credited with a save in the top of the seventh, striking out the final batter and getting the win.
