MADISON, Wis. – In front of 1,271 fans, the Wisconsin softball team got its redemption after holding Nebraska scoreless in the last five innings on Saturday at the annual "Get to Goodman" game, defeating the Huskers 5-4.
Trailing 4-3, Wisconsin (37-11 overall, 14-8 B1G) showed up big in the bottom of the sixth with freshman
Ally Miklesh started things off with a single to right field. Junior
Kayla Konwent followed suit with a single to third base. A Nebraska throwing error on the play advanced her to second and scored. Konwent would also score after a
Taylor Johnson triple to take the lead from Nebraska (21-29, 9-13).
The Badgers got on the board in the bottom of the first inning with the help from three straight walks and a sacrifice hit from
Jordan Little that allowed Konwent to score.
After giving up three runs in the top of the second, both teams went scoreless until
Lauren Foster hit a double to send pinch runner
Tyra Turner home. Foster proceeded to steal third base before scoring after Miklesh singled to right field.
Sophomore
Haley Hestekin pitched all seven innings in Saturday's win to improve her record to 16-4 on the season.
