WICHITA, Kan.-- The University of Jamestown softball team split its two games on Sunday at the Friends Invitational, defeating Oklahoma Panhandle State 8-0 in six innings and losing 11-8 to Friends University.

Jamestown put up five runs in their first at-bat and never looked back.

Katie Reisdorfer (JR/Fresno, Calif.)'s two-run double in the bottom of the fourth extended UJ's lead to 7-0, and the eighth run of the game came via an error by OPSU.
