Box Score CLERMONT, Fla.—The Bethany Lutheran softball team (5-4 overall) defeated Marietta (1-2) 5-4 Sunday to open its Florida trip. The second game of the day was cancelled due to a lack of umpires.

In the bottom of the frame, freshman Kaija Mork (Sioux Falls, SD) hit a two-run triple to left centerfield to tie it up. She scored the go-ahead run as she stole home.
 
Marietta reclaimed the lead in the top of the fifth on a two-run homer over the right centerfield fence to make it 4-3.
 
The Vikings knotted it again in the seventh as sophomore Haley Stockman (Mankato, Minn.) drove in pinch runner freshman Jolyne LeClair (Nore-Dame-de-Lourdes, Manitoba) on her single to centerfield. Sophomore Ana Christofferson (Mankato, Minn.) scored the game-winning run on a throwing error by the Pioneers.
 
Junior Katelyn Halbach (Osage, Iowa) went 3-3 at the plate and added two stolen bases.
