FERGUS FALLS — The Ridgewater softball team earned its first victory of the season by splitting a Minnesota College Athletic Conference doubleheader at Fergus Falls.
The Warriors won Game 1, 9-2 and lost the second 11-8.
Ridgewater coach Datriana Jensen was encouraged by Tuesday’s showing.
“We were swinging at strikes, put the bat on the ball, took advantage on the basepaths,” Jensen said. “The matchup was a lot more similar to our team.”
Jasmine Knick got the complete-game pitching victory for the Warriors (1-5 MCAC, 1-9 overall). The right-hander from Glencoe-Silver Lake struck out three, walked four and allowed five hits and no earned runs.

In the second game, Edlund was 2-for-4 with a run and Knick went 2-for-3 with a run, a walk and a stolen base.
