UNI Notebook: UNI softball sweeps SIU in conference opening weekend

The UNI softball team started off its conference slate with a 3-0 sweep of the Southern Illinois Salukis over the weekend.

In the first game, UNI trailed 9-2 after the first two innings, but a three run top of the third allowed the Panthers to cut the Saluki lead to four runs.

The Panthers outscored SIU in the fourth and fifth innings 5-2 to make it a one run game heading into the sixth inning.

UNI’s offense showed up in a big way in the top of the sixth inning as the Panthers scored seven runs, including two homers all in 13 at-bats.
