MANKATO, Minn.—The Bethany Lutheran softball team (4-4 overall) split its games Sunday to conclude its own Bethany Kwik Trip Invitational.
 
The Vikings defeated UW-Stout 9-1 in five innings and fell 3-1 to No. 12 UW-Oshkosh in the finale.
 
The Blue Devils took the early 1-0 lead in the first on an RBI groundout. BLC answered with a two-run single from freshman Kaitlyn Doucette (Quesnel, British Columbia).
 
Bethany added to its margin in the third as junior Bailey Erlandson (Woodbury, Minn.) drove in senior Eden Ambrose (Hugo, Minn.) with her double to centerfield.
