Softball: Hot Badger offense starts off season with a bang

It had been 265 days since the University of Wisconsin softball team (4-1) played their last game of the 2018 season. But they returned fresh and ready for a new season in the Lonestar Collegiate Classic in Houston, Texas this weekend.

Friday morning, the Badgers secured two run-ruling wins against Nebraska-Omaha and Lamar.

In game one, the Badgers found themselves down one run early versus Omaha after just one inning. An early deficit only added fuel to the Badger’s fire that was about to take place on offense.

Senior Kelly Welsh tied the game in her first at-bat of the season with a single to center-field, capitalizing on a walk drawn by Lauren Foster.
