Badgers softball: Sara Novak's seventh-inning home run provides difference in win

FULLERTON, Calif. -- Kelsey Jenkins and Sara Novak hit home runs and Taylor-Paige Stewart went the distance as the University of Wisconsin softball team defeated host Cal State Fullerton 3-2 at the Judi Garman Classic on Friday night.

Novak's blast in the top of the seventh inning broke a 2-2 tie after Stewart allowed a pair of sixth-inning runs -- only one was earned.

Stewart cruised through the first five innings. In all, she allowed five hits, walked three and struck out five.

The Badgers proved efficient at the plate -- producing two solo home runs and an RBI double -- among their four hits.
