St. Cloud, Mn. - The SBU softball team traveled up to St. Cloud, Minnesota for a five game tournament this weekend. Friday evening the girls played Augustana University from South Dakota and lost by a score of 8-0. The loss puts the Bearcats at 1-8 (0-0) MIAA for the season. 

Senior Jaidyn Mawhinney started the game with a leadoff walk, but SBU couldn't get any runs on the board. Augustana University scored 5 runs in the bottom of the first. Two of those runs came from a two out, two RBI double, and another from a two out, one RBI single. The Vikings put another run on the board in the second inning with a sacrifice fly to left field. In the third inning Jaidyn Mawhinney was hit by a pitch and Kori Hillenburg took over for her. The Bearcats kept Augustana University quiet until a one out, two RBI triple in the sixth inning. The Vikings went up 8-0 and the game was called due to the run rule.
