It may not have turned out to be memorable in the way the way the University of Wisconsin softball team envisioned, but it’s doubtful that any of the Badgers will forget what could well be their season finale on Friday.
That was the most bizarre part of a marathon Big Ten Conference quarterfinal matchup against Minnesota that included about six hours of delays before the No. 2 seed Gophers prevailed 6-0.
“Today will be a memorable day … that will be a memorable one,” UW coach Yvette Healy said.
As it turned out the game was decided early as the Gophers (37-15) pushed across two runs in the bottom of the first on a double, a single and two UW errors.
