[Softball] USK Eliminated in Loss to Morningside

After surrendering seven unearned runs in its first game of the 2021 NAIA Softball World Series Opening Round, Saint Katherine looked like it might balance the books when Morningside gave the Firebirds four runs on two errors and two passed balls for a brief one-run lead, but the Mustangs quickly reclaimed the advantage and, ultimately, a 5-4 win at U.S. Cellular Community Park, Ashland, Ore.  The loss brings USK's postseason run to an end, but still positive after battling two teams with 40-plus wins that have been ranked in the NAIA Top 10 all season.
