Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 DUNDAS, Minn. – The Macalester College softball team opened their season with a pair of games at the Dundas Dome on Saturday, beating Wisconsin-Stout, 2-1 and falling to the University of Wisconsin Superior, 7-4.
 
In the first game, Wisconsin-Stout opened with a first inning run. Both teams would go quiet until the bottom of the fifth, when Macalester broke through with two runs. Junior Tess Bojorquez (San Clemente, Calif./San Clemente) brought home junior Elizabeth Welch (Carol Stream, Ill./Glenbard North) from second and junior Alli Johnson (Waukee, Iowa/Northwest) from third for the two RBI single. Junior Martha Miller (Medford, Wis./Medford) held the Blue Devils off, closing out the game with zero errors for the win.
 
Against Wisconsin-Superior, the Scots couldn't battle back from an early deficit. The Yellowjackets got two runs in the second, countered by one Scot's run off a single by Johnson that brought sophomore Dylan Tapia (Tarzana, Calif./Notre Dame) across the plate. Wisconsin would continue to push, with three runs in the second and a sixth in the fourth to net them a five-run lead. Mac's three runs at the bottom of the fourth off a two RBI single by Tapia and a sophomore Allison Dvorak (Poulsbo, Wash./North Kitsap) single would return them to contention, but they wouldn't bring any more runners home. The Yellowjackets would get the last score of the night off an unearned run in the seventh.
