BISMARCK, N.D. — The Southwest Minnesota State softball split the doubleheader against U-Mary with a 9-5 decision in game one before scoring a season-high runs in earning a 16-9 victory in game two on Friday afternoon.
 
The Marauders capitalized on 13 hits for nine runs while the Mustangs tallied 10 hits and left 10 runners on base in the opener.
 
U-Mary (16-20, 5-5 NSIC) scored first in bottom of the first inning but SMSU (15-15, 4-4 NSIC) came back with four runs of its own in the top of the fourth to lead, 4-3. U-Mary scored three runs over the next two innings to regain a 6-4 lead.
 
The Mustangs cut the lead down to one in the top of the sixth but the Marauders scored three runs in the bottom of the inning to cement a 9-5 win in game one.
 
Alex O'Connor (10-8) suffered the loss in the circle after giving up 13 hits and nine runs—all earned—while striking out three batters and walking just one.
 
Jazmyne Neely led the Mustangs offense, with a 4 for 4 with a run scored from the dish while, Katelyn Kalkman and Elissa Reinsma finished 2 for 4 with a run and a pair of runs scored, respectfully.

In game two, SMSU jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the top of the first and later held a 7-2 lead in the second, before U-Mary rallied to take the lead. The Marauders scored six runs in the bottom of the second to an 8-7 lead, but SMSU rallied with nine unanswered runs to earn the win.

Trailing 8-7 in the fourth, SMSU regained the lead with three runs on four hits. Hanson tied the game with an RBI single, while Neely gave SMSU a 9-8 lead with a run-scoring single. Hanson later scored on a double steal to build a 10-8 lead.

The Mustangs scored a pair of unearned runs in the sixth and then put the game away in the seventh as Madisson Chadwick blasted a grand slam—her first long ball of the season—to make the score 16-7.

Chadwick paced SMSU going 3 for 4 with four RBIs and four runs scored, Kalkman was 3 for 4 with four runs scored, while Kailey Hanson and Neely each finished with four RBIs.

O'Connor (11-8) came on in relief in the second inning and shut U-Mary down for the remainder of the game to pick up the victory. She allowed just one unearned run on five hits with three strikeouts and one walk.
