4/1/2025 9:53:00 PM | Softball
Huskies drop game one, 8-4 (8 inn.), rebound with 9-1 run rule win
ST. CLOUD, Minn. – St. Cloud State Softball (26-11, 5-4 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference) split its midweek doubleheader with Bemidji State (15-19, 2-8 NSIC) on Tuesday in the Husky Dome in St. Cloud. The Huskies dropped the first game which went into extra innings, 8-4, before bouncing back with a 9-1 five inning run rule win in game two.
Senior infielder Maggie Fitzgerald (Oak Lawn, Ill.) walked three times in the first game, tying Morgan Emmans (2016-19) for the program career record in that category, with 90.
GAME ONE: BEMDIJI STATE 8, ST. CLOUD STATE 4 (8 INN.)
Junior infielder Sydney Roe (Davenport, Iowa) gave the Huskies a 3-0 lead in the first inning after clearing the loaded bases with double to left center field. Bemidji State responded with a two-RBI triple in the next half inning, cutting the SCSU lead to one.
The Beavers took their first lead of the game after plating two runs in the fifth, but SCSU tied the game at four in the bottom of the sixth with an RBI-single from senior catcher/outfielder Reese Holzhueter (Shakopee, Minn.). Neither team scored in the seventh, sending the game to extra inning. The Beavers scored four runs in the eighth with a pair of 2-RBI singles and SCSU was unable to answer, ending the game.
TOP HUSKIES
The Beavers opened the game with a one run lead after and RBI-single in the first half inning. SCSU roared back in the second inning, pushing six runs across to take a five-run lead. Freshman catcher Morgan Honeycutt (Rosemount, Minn.) got the Huskies started with a two-RBI double, which was followed by a two-RBI single from Holzheueter and capped off with a two-run blast from redshirt sophomore infielder Grace Frechette (Forest Lake, Minn.).
SCSU added a run in the third and an RBI-double from Frechette in the fourth extended the Huskies lead to seven. In the bottom of the fifth, Holzhueter hit the run-rule clinching hit, driving in Honeycutt with an RBI-single.
