A fifth-inning single by Riley Westlund was all the Luxemburg-Casco softball team could muster in a 3-0 loss to Denmark at home on Thursday.

Vikings hurler Shaelyn Kraschnewski hassled Spartans batters all afternoon, sitting down 12 straight to start the game and faced only 21 batters on the day. Despite having 10 hits off of Spartans pitching, the Vikings weren't able to cross home plate until Macey Mleziva singled in a run to end the fifth inning. The Vikings added two insurance runs to beat their NEC rivals ahead of a rematch Friday afternoon in Denmark.
