FORT WORTH, Texas — The Texas Wesleyan softball team split a double header with Mid-America Christian, falling in game one 9-2 but winning the second 4-2 on Saturday afternoon at Sycamore Park.
 
In game one, Brynna Foster and Mercedes Beltran had two hits apiece. Beltran accounted for both runs and hit a solo homer in the fifth inning.

In the top of the second, Foster struck out the side on what would become five total strikeouts for her line. After sending the Evangels down in order in the third, TXWES gave up back-to-back singles in the fourth but kept MACU from scoring as they got a flyout and caught a runner leaving early.
 
Foster added an insurance run in the bottom of four on a solo homer over left field for the 4-1 TXWES edge. MACU got one back in the sixth on an RBI single, but TXWES would hold them to just one more hit in the seventh for the win.
