St. Cloud, Minn. -- The St. Cloud State University softball team matched up against Bemidji State University this afternoon in an NSIC conference doubleheader. The games took place in the Husky dome, however, the Huskies were the designated visiting team due to schedule changes based on field conditions.

Game One vs. BSU Recap:
The Huskies had a powerful start to game one vs. Bemidji State as Kelly Olson (Oak Grove), just the second batter of the game, stepped to the plate and crushed a homerun over the right field fence. The Huskies held their 1-0 lead until the third inning when they were able to get another run on the board after consecutive hits by Olson and Mikayla Hogan (Chippewa Falls, Wis.).
St. Cloud State put together a string of offense in the 6th and 7th innings to earn three more runs and finish with a 5-0 victory. Nicole Steinle (Fort Collins, Colo.) led off the sixth with a double to right center. Taylor Thomas (Fontana, Calif.) followed with a base hit out of reach of the short stop and Natalie Shaft (Sioux Falls) singled down the left field line to score Thomas. The Huskies added their final run in the seventh as Breana Canova (Riverside, Calif.) led off with a single to right center. Olson bunted Canova into scoring position and Hogan hit a sacrifice fly to right field to score Canova for the fifth and final run.
