The University of Wisconsin Softball team swept Northern Iowa Tuesday in their home opener following stellar pitching and an overpowering offense.
Game one began as a defensive battle and pitching showcase from both teams.
While Wisconsin only scored one run in nearly five innings —something characteristic of their powerful offense — pitcher Haley Hestekin picked up her offense’s deficits by holding the Panthers to a no-hitter through five innings.
However, in the bottom of the fifth inning, Wisconsin finally found their spark at the plate.
Jordan Little managed to stab a single into right field to bring home a second Badger run.
