Softball beats Badgers

Softball won its seventh consecutive game when it defeated the University of Wisconsin Badgers from the Big Ten Conference Tuesday in Madison, Wisconsin.

Key hits in the seventh inning and a solid performance from sophomore pitcher Alex Frenz propelled the Huskies (28-18, 13-8 Mid-American Conference) past the Badgers (29-14, 8-11 Big Ten), 6-4.

“That was a gutsy pitching performance by Alex working out of some jams,” said Head Coach Christina Sutcliffe. “Our offense did a great job being aggressive on the bases and capitalizing on clutch hits. Jordyn [Bowen] leading off the seventh was the difference maker for us pulling through.
