The Oles opened MIAC play falling to Gustavus by scores of 8-5 and 2-1 (nine innings). The Oles held the lead in the first game until the fifth inning, when the Gusties rallied from a 5-4 deficit, and four unearned runs, to claim an 8-5 win.

In game two, the Oles rallied to tie the game at 1-1 on Christina Moses (Sr., New Brighton, Minn.) RBI single in the top of the seventh inning. Gustavus scored the winning run on a sacrifice fly by Claire Mielke in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Christina Moses was 2-4 in game two and Grete Christenson (Jr., Springfield, Va.) went the distance for the Oles, striking out three, walking six and giving up four earned runs. The Oles are 4-6 overall and 0-2 in the MIAC.
